I am starting a new chapter in my life..... |
|
I started job hunting today...... sort of. I am working with my new friend Audrey (employment specialist) to get ready to go job hunting. We're going to be redoing my wardrobe (somewhat) and doing practice interviews and such. This is where the journey will be documented for posterity. I also will throw in news about my writing now and again as that is what the site is for. Okay, so there are scraps of anything that might affect my life ... |
I was supposed to meet with Audrey last week, but I thought the appointment was for 1:00 pm. Turned out is was for 11:00 am. Audrey told me today not to worry about it, but I still feel it was a bad first impression. We met today in The Lotus Cafe inside CMH. She looked up to see if they still had my resume and if it was too long since I last worked with the program to skip the paperwork. It was too long so we started almost from scratch. Something tells me I don't want to know what is on the resume. We wrote down some things I wouldn't do, which was good. No fast food. No cleaning toilets. Then we wrote what I would like to do: Anything to do with writing, of course, Editing, Clerical work, Mentoring and Counseling. My main goal is basically the same as it was: To become a Peer Support and work my way up to a Therapist. She told me BWROC offers free classes in Addiction counseling. I'll have to check it out. We filled out a request for a voucher for Salvation Army and she is going to see the next time Harbor Impact is open. She gave me something to think about: The first thing an interviewer usually asks is "Tell me a little about yourself." Definitely something to keep in mind. We're meeting again Thursday, September 26th at 11:00 am. |

Stress = not good. Have no advice though. Breathe? I'm coming out of high anxiety and depression. It's been a slow uphill struggle.
