day 3

07 15 2020

Today, really yesterday, I got motivated to apply to jobs again, yay! I was job searching and I found some that actually seemed plausible the night before, so yesterday I applied. There were two different jobs that I applied for:

1 - a part time, seasonal, temporary (aka no job security) low level job at a really cool company 

2 - a full time entry level position at a company I like, but not necessarily my dream career 

Throughout this job process during covid-19 I've come to the realization that no job is going to be my dream job, because the companies I want to work for are just really not hiring now. Also, I am not really qualified enough to do anything but an entry level position, so if I find one open I feel like I have to apply.

 

Yesterday I also had a realization for how I want to spend the next year of my life. I am now planning on living at home for the next year, working at (hopefully) a full time position at an entry level job. The goal of this is to gain some experience, while saving my money so in two years my family and I can travel to Europe. Obviously this is only if a vaccine is out for covid-19 and everything has resumed, as much as it can, back to normal. This is basically the only thing motivating me right now, so I'm going to try to stick to it. I'm also hoping that by saving this money and working a full time job, while maybe also working a part-time job, I can save enough money to move to NY or California more comfortably. My thoughts about post-grad have always included me moving to a city somewhere living my best life and having this extra money would obviously help me pay rent, move, etc. Maybe I will look up more jobs tomorrow. 

Updates on other jobs I've applied to:

-most have rejected me

-even more have not responded at all

Hoping to hear back from these companies soon!
