So setting out last week giving out resumes Britt and I figured we'd get a couple phone calls over the weekend for interviews and what not. We were wrong. Not one phone call...all weekend...from anyone....50 resumes- 0 calls. Seriously!? It was like we had printed them out on toilet paper and handed them in used.
Sunday- depression hit. I mean nothing that sitting in on a dress rehearsal for a barber shop choir Christmas pageant won't cure, but a slump none the less.
Today we set out with the task of visiting places we had dropped resumes at already to follow up, and drop off even more. Again more disappointment with being turned aways with no hope of employment- even at Dirty Dick's!
One bright spot we got to meet up with Landlord Steve and make final agreements on lease and all that so the flat is officially ours (move in on Wednesday!).
After dropping my resume off at a BMW dealership, I decided to try my luck at a different Starbucks (I know-desperation). Like other place I was assured it would make its way to the manager. A minute later I receive a phone call from said manager and had an impromptu interview where I believe I received a job offer.
Leaving Starbucks after setting up a real interview for tomorrow, and feeling a little better, Brittany and I received five more phone calls for different interview all for tomorrow!
First interview is at Hog's head- bar job. I'm optimistic, not because of my vast bar experience- I have none- or because of my cunning whit and capabilities to participate in clever banter-my confidence in those areas are far higher then it should be- but because they were playing an American football game on the TV when I went in and that means there is a possibility they could play hockey in the bar and I could definitely dazzle patrons with my knowledge of such a purely Canadian sport. Three giant fist pumps in the air for national stereotypes!
Wish Britt and myself luck in the interviews tomorrow!
Messages to pass on:
*Alas as we move into our new digs on wed and will not have a computer, the blogs may be spread further apart- not to fret they will still come, and will undoubtedly have more content!
*they play Ally McBeal here a lot- its actually a great show, hilarious. Reintroduce yourself.
*everyone feel free to comment- I know there are some closet readers out there- and mom keep up the good work.

"Three giant fist pumps in the air for national stereotypes!"
hahahahaha i almost died.
good luck tomorrow, dazzle them with your great skin tone and humility.
ps - central park was robbed overnight. they dragged the entire safe out the front door.
i stopped by because i had to drive to school to hand in a paper and it made my life to watch kim stand outside the front door and turn away one person after another. you would have loved it.
My Dear Girls, (Yes I have now taken on Brit as one of my own.)I am saying a prayer as we speak for not just your luck in getting a job (any job) but for those Scots to become enlightened about the high caliber of Canadian talent they have at their fingertips. I will try phoning you Tuesday or Wednesday to see how that went. Remember we are all sending positive vibes and that you should be sitting pretty in a day or two. Looking forward to speaking to you in person.....Love Mom
Hey
I just noticed the comment section. The possibly of having Heather ne Getz publicly correct my spelling always makes me hesitant to post. I figured out how to paste from word so I can use the spell check. Your blogging is great.
Remember the 3 keys to interviewing. Charm, Charm and Charm. It is really working for me.
Peace
“G unit” out
thanks for all the well wishes! they worked! Mom I do hope to hear from you soon, and dad- I live with that fear everyday of my life- it doesn't get any easier. Shes like a hawk.
SANDI- what I jewel of a comment!!! hahaha all of it. Safe just right out the door- couldn't have asked for a more dramatic turn of amazing events then that. Three giant fist pumps in the air for the desperation of drug addicts for money may be in order
