Day one: Finding a job

Yaayyyyy!!!!! I finally graduated from college. It took me six years and some uncertainties before I can finally say I got my Bachelors Degree. At the graduation ceremony, the speaker mentioned how this wonderful degree will get us further ahead within our careers. As I reflect on this now... one month later, I am starting to worry if there is a career for me..........

I understand the uncertainty of finding a career or even a job during these tough economic times, but I am feeling even worse since I let a lot of great opportunities slip by......

One month ago.... I was feeling hopeful on how I can start towards working on my new life. Today I feel like there is much more uncertainty.

I lived with a friend in Hollywood, FL while finishing school and I recently came home to Jacksonville, FL to save money and live with my mother.

I am thankful I have no children and feel sorry for people who has been out of work due to layoffs and are facing foreclosure on their homes. I am really lucky that the only minor debt that I have are some credit card bills (which are now overdue and extremely late), some student loans (which are from in-school deferment), and a car note (which was a lease I am turning in soon).

So... Here is my situation, I am looking for a career that I can grow... I have experience in several areas including restaurants ( 2 years management) and customer service (call center, telemarketing, office assistant etc....) I currently have a temp ( I mean VERY ) job which pays my major bills however I am unable to pay my credit card bills. My mother allow me to move in with her without having to pay rent which I am more then grateful.....

I am looking for a career in Food Service Management. My ultimate goal is to run my catering business again.... However, without the money or funds how can I do that?????

I will continue to update this site to let you know how I am going with my job search as well as to vent throughout my search here in Jacksonville.....
