I had a great interview yesterday for a company in Glendale, less than 1 mile from my apartment. I would be able to walk there on nice days!!! The job is working for the employee training department as a coordinator (and eventually, as a trainer). It is perfect! It would be a dream come true to work in the non-profit sector again! I hope they call me for a 2nd interview. I could tell they were hesitant about my background (being overqualified), but I assured them that this was exactly what I wanted to do and the type of company I would be honored to work for! I told them to please not let salary be a factor, as I would rather be happy with my life than paid well for a job I have no passion about. I guess we’ll see what happens. I have my fingers crossed. I can make up the money with my photography. I’ll make this work. I just really hope they want me!
Today, I emailed a recruiter as a follow-up to a job I applied for 2 weeks ago as I saw the job reposted on Craigslist. She wrote me back saying that her client would not be happy with my resume as I’ve had too many jobs. Ugh, this kills me. I am desperately looking for a company to stick with and grow with. I hate moving around. I have been laid off three times in the past few years due to reasons that have nothing to do with me. It is so unfortunate that they would overlook me and lose out on having me work for them because of this. I am a wonderful employee, dedicated, loyal, hard working, intelligent and friendly. I am loved by all my bosses and co-workers. I just can’t handle being overlooked because of my unfortunate situation that was completely out of my control. Really upsets me.
In a blast from the past, I found a job at ArtCenter that I would be perfect for! It combines web design, research, coordination, orientations and more! It is an exact match for my skills and background. I submitted my resume. I would be very happy at ArtCenter. It’s non-profit, a creative environment, and in a beautiful location (very close to home). I really enjoyed my time there.
I also haven’t heard from BRC Imaginative Arts yet. I put in a follow-up to them, and would be very happy there as well. The salary is low, but the job would be fun. Still, I’d be much happier at SCPH, so I am hoping and wishing that they call me! Please send me and the Universe your great thoughts! I really want this job!!
