So this is pretty much my last week of volleyball practice so I am in the process of job hunting right now...Not fun! I did get a job as an income tax preparor, but I have to do alot of training on my own time before I start, the guy signed me into tax school and I have 2 classes I have to finish and I started yesterday, but there is soo much work, it is going to take me atleast a month I'm thinking to finish them so I'm still keeping my eyes open for a better job that does not require so much training (because I'm not getting paid to do these classes). So I have been looking online, but there aren't alot of way good jobs available in Cedar, especially at this time of year, most of them open up in the summer when students leave. But I have applied to a few places that I'm waiting to hear back from, hopefully something opens up for me..Today I had an interview with Primerica, I saw that they were looking for someone on the SUU website so I sent them a resume and they called me up for an interview. Well it was probably the worst interview of my life! I did good at it because they want me to come in for a second interview, but the guy was kinda a jerk so it's def. not a job that I'm interested in. I didn't really know what Primerica was before I went, but it's like a sales job, basically I'd have to try and sale insurance and then do debt consolodation. It's like a pyramid scheme kinda, you get people to work under you haha..so not really my thing. But basically he went off on me because I want to be a school counselor, he tried to tell me that school counseling is the worst field to go into, that I wouldn't be any good at it, and I'll never make enough money to survive doing it. Then he just said a few other things that bothered me, so I left the interview wanting to cry haha...It was bad, so basically he's going to call me today to set up a second interview and I am going to have to turn it down, it's just not for me. But he made me feel like a complete idiot for wanting to be a school counselor, so after the interview I was questioning if I was doing the right thing. But then I had an appointment with my academic advisor, who has a pyschology degree and she reassured me that it is a good field to go into and shared some of her experiences and I feel alot better now haha...Anyways wish me luck on finding a job, I'm hoping I can find something good!
