Day eight: Closer to finding a job but not a career....

Today I have two more interviews with two separate companies. My first interview was for a non-profit clothing store, which the interviewer locked me in the room for 30 minutes ( I did not realize I was locked in). I think the interviewer was more focused on the fax machine then the interview. I asked about the benefits, and I got of an unheard of six months to receive benefits. After this, I would not think I would like this position to much.......

My second interview, was an open job fair for a small chain breakfast shop which I met with the store manager. The good thing about this interview was that I had met with the owner a few weeks back, and he seem interested into hiring me. After this interview the GM mentioned what position would I like and I mentioned that I was really interested in the Assistant Manager position since I already have the experience. I am hoping to hear from this company by Friday at the latest.

So, basically I am going to hear from several companies by the end of the week so hopefully I will have an idea on a job so I can start on Monday. I also have two more interviews, one for second telephone screen interview with the telecommunications company, in which I was in line for a retail management program.

However the most funniest call was from the Quick Service company that I mentioned in a older posting about the guy stealing the drinks. I was invited to have a second interview first thing Friday morning.

I think I am going to take a break for the rest of the week, however if I do not hear anything I will definetly be on the look out on Monday morning. Until then I am excited that I am going to the Coca Cola 400 in Daytona this weekend. This will be my first Sprint Cup race and I will add some pictures on Monday. I also have a lot of shops to do this week in order to make some additional cash. I know the rest of the week will be busy, however I am still looking for other college graduates who are going through the same struggles like I am.... If you are a recent college graduate and you are going through your job search struggle, then please feel free to emal me and I will be happy to post your story on my blog.


I will be starting a group on Facebook for college graduate in order to network and hopefully gain some connection with companies that are actually hiring right now.


Til then Happy fourth... and if no updates I will post on Monday

GO KASEY !!!!
