Okay so it's been five months...

I was going to wait until June 4th to post, b/c then it would be five months since my last post. But I decided to go a week early. I rarely get on Pleonast. I don't have too much time to post.

But alas...not too much is new. I am STILL searching for jobs...yes, I have been out six months now. But I do have security at my job now, so it's not like I am sitting around and twiddling my thumbs. I have had a few interviews here and there, but in the words of U2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for."

I am trying to be patient. I know the right job will come around eventually. But my time is drawing near. My lease runs up at the end of June...so my goal is to have a job by then. We shall see. I was also looking to get out of Nashville, but it looks as if I may still be around for a while. I wanted a change, but I can be patient a few more years. Who knows? Nashville is a great city. I'm not complaining. I just want to experience other places in my lifetime.

I am going to Jamaica in 25 days for my wonderful roommate's wedding!! I cannot wait. A vacation will be wonderful.

Well, that's all for now I suppose. I must get back to searching the internet for communications/PR jobs. Wish me luck.

    don't leave Nashville unless you plan to go to an equally cool, happenin', exciting location.

    Nicholasville OR Lexington are not equally cool, happenin or exciting as Nashville.

    But I love Chris, and he is here, and I am happy.

Peace for now

I am very fortunate and very blessed for my current circumstances concerning work. For the past two years, I have been working at a health care company (Ascent Partners) in Green Hills. I finished my internship last week at Dell. Ascent asked me last week to work full-time until I find a job. And they are giving me a raise and benefits! So now I am not stressing out about finding a job. I am definitely going to keep looking. But now I have the time to be patient and wait for the right position to open up.

Thanks to God for looking out for me.

    Excellent! I'm glad you were able to get something to hold you over until you find something permanent. I did the same thing and they actually ended up hiring me into a full time position. But like you said be patient...because as it turned out that job wasn't a good fit for me.

Career search

Job-hunting is not fun...

    How is the job hunt going?
    by a_starr at 02/02/07 6:08PM

It's only been 2 1/2 months...

So it's been a long time. I'm sorry. I rarely get to get on. I just bought a MacBook laptop on Friday, so I can now get on a little more. (but don't hold me to that)

A lot has happened since I last posted:
- Nov. 10 - 14: Salt Lake City for a PR conference. Networked with one of the communications managers for Limited Brands in Columbus, OH.

- Nov. 23: Miss Milly's (my beautiful niece) first birthday!! Also Thanksgiving day.

- Dec. 16: Graduation from Lipscomb University!! B.A. in Public Relations

- Dec. 19: My 22nd birthday! I also went to Columbus, OH to meet with the communcations manager from Limited Brands. Great networking opportunity.

- Dec. 25: Christmas day. A sad day when I said goodbye to my dear Uncle Charlie.

- Jan. 1: first day of 2007...crazy. Has another year already passed?

Okay so here I am now. I am still interning at Dell as well as working at the medical company. Both places have said that I can work with them until I find a job.

I finally bought a computer so now I can search for jobs...because I don't think it's proper etiquette to search for jobs at work.

I am fascinated with corporate communications and would love to get a job with a reputable corporation one day. Now I just need to find the right PR job that will be my stepping stone for my career path.

I shall try to get on more now that I am finished with school. But I cannot guarantee that I will get on everyday. =0)

Hope you all have an amazing new year.

Stranded....

I am spending my sad, unfortunate Friday night stuck in my apartment. I was supposed to be in Cincinnati visiting my sister. But instead I am stuck here b/c my car decided to start making loud, grinding noises and is now sick and at the Saturn dealership.

I'm sad b/c I haven't seen my sister since June. And now i won't get to see her until graduation in December.

Boo....
  • octaveleaper
    Boo...was what I wrote before I saw you wrote boo...I'm in Nashville tomorrow.
