Get ready, Get Set...GO!!!

Life comes at you fast doesn't it? Now that I'm nearing graduation it's time to start the job search! In THIS economy??!! YIKES! That said, the bills need paid. As soon as I get ahead on homework I'm going to start "padding" my resume a bit. You know, the things that look good to prospective employers like actual work experience, volunteering or special special seminars or workshops you have taken. I'm HORRIBLY deficient in all of these things at the moment but I do have options I'm thinking about.

I just need to get my act together, manage what little time I have better and get out there and get these things under my belt.

It's unlikely that I will land my "dream job" right out of the gate but everyone has to start somewhere, don't they? It's not like you start right at the top or anything. You've got to enter an organization as the first rung on the ladder and hopefully work your way up from there!

I've got the skills and the creativity, now all I have to do is PROVE that to somebody!  That's "all" I have to do.  It's huge undertaking but it's also the rest of my life, so I gotta do this right!

Big Happy Surprise!

I am graduating May 6! Why should this be surprising to me, you might ask? Well, I had to drop a class because I simply had too much on my plate and I believed that I still had to take the class that I dropped yet this summer. It turns out I was in error! After my advisor and the NTC registrar went over all the NTC classes I've taken the last few years and those classes that I took previously at BSU between 1985-1992, it turns out I have more than enough credits and experiencded enough "study areas" to obtain my degeree WITHOUT taking the class that I dropped! Yay!

Now, I've got to reorient my head around this fact! I just ordered my cap, hat and gown. I also have to go back and actually READ all of those emails I received for "those graduating in May." I didn't completely read them because I didn't think they applied to me...

Wow! School is nearly over for me now, NOT this August as I believed at this time yesterday.

Welcome to my blog!

It is my hope that this blog might help me find the career opportunities I am looking for. I look forward to hearing all of your suggestions and comments on how to land a career in the field ofAdministrative Office Assistant in these challenging economic times!
