So, we've been on the job hunt for like three weeks now and not even a smidgen of hope! Every day I apply for more jobs, every day the phone fails to ring. I've now exhausted all of my options in New Minas... handing out something like sixteen resumes, so tomorrow it is off to Kentville to try my luck there. Things in Kentville seem a bit brighter since I read online that Lawtons there is looking for a Pharmacy technician... someone to help the pharmacist with labelling, cataloguing, organizing... that sort of thing. So, I'm hoping that they'll at least consider me... I do have lots of experience with chemicals and biological things and with labelling and organizing (thanks to my Biology degree and all of my labs that up to this point have proved completely useless in my job search).
So, tomorrow morning I will bike to Kentville and scout out the territory, hand out some resumes and hopefully I'll finally get some interviews. I did have two interviews at Sears, but they were only looking for someone for 6 to 20 hours per week and they decided against me in the second interview when I told them that I didn't work on sundays (after they told me that they would soon be opening on sundays). So much for people saying that we wouldn't be discriminated against in finding jobs if we refused to work on sundays for retailers!... I'm not bitter, really. It wasn't that great of an opportunity because I'm looking for full time and they were only offering minimal hours. Also, they said that on friday nights I would have to work until 11pm setting up displays for saturday morning... and I'm not too keen on working until 11pm, then walking home in the dark from County fair mall. So, it was all for the best I guess.

That's too bad that it's taking so long to get a job....hopefully the Lawtons thing turns out (although Lawtons already opens on Sundays) I wonder how Sears is planning to get around the no Sunday shopping laws....it's not like they can really sub-divide their store. Oh well, you're probably much better off not working there anyway.
Later! Karilyn
