May I just say that job hunting is not fun. I'm in need of a new job, I am not being rehired at JHS and I've decided I'm not teaching again...at least not in a formal classroom setting. I feel like a failure sometimes.
I've had to look at every job, every skill, and every activity I have ever done to see if I have any marketable skills. Right now I don't feel like it. I also can't seem to think of any accomplishments to make me stand out.
Yes I have visited with lds employment services, workforce services, got online at career builder, linked in, It is such a pain to put all my information out there, on every website. why can't there be one place, one format for all employers to use so I just type it once, or copy/paste it. I even went to a JUAB county job fair Monday. Interesting opportunities, but mostly skilled laborers.
I talked to a professor at byu about what it would take to become a actuary. He says I really have to pass a few exams, no course work necessary... Maybe because of my math background. The first one is the P exam (probability) the second one is the FM (financial math), then an internship. I might be able to take a class to prep for the P exam during spring summer semester. Interesting information.
I also have an interview tomorrow at the hospital as an admitting clerk. I obviously can't start until summer.... I told them that at the job fair, but they want to try it anyway. (Not offered job, but it was just not enough $) I also applied to work at Western Governors University as a student mentor, but I was passed up on that too. That was a work-at-home job.
I'm excited, but really nervous about where I'm headed. I may even go back for more training or get another degree. I love learning....too bad there isn't money in learning, just working.
