Applying for Jobs

{ April 27, 2013 @ 9:06 am } · { Uncategorized } · { Comments (3) }

I worked at the spa for a year.

During that time, I applied for approximately 12 jobs. I was interviewed for 3. I got 2 of them, one of which was a temporary position that only lasted through the holidays, and one of them is the job I have currently. I was being very picky, as I think that any job should have a commitment for a certain timeframe (in my case, 6-month minimum) as just a courtesy to the business who chose to hire you. Of course, I have just received this job, but there are several other jobs I am also qualified for that I would like to apply to.

My mental loyalty coerces me to not even bother applying…but then again, what does it hurt? I suppose there would be the conflict of quitting a job you’ve been at for less than 6 months; the fear of upsetting everyone around you…I hate it when I upset people. It’s one of my biggest fears.

What would you do, if you just got a job, then saw several others you’d like to apply for? What are your opinions regarding job loyalty?

Thanks to Mija for hosting me on WordPress!
I’m excited to be able to create a new space for myself and get back to blogging, and I think this is definitely the best option for where my life is right now.

A few things about myself, although I’m sure everyone who will read this already knows me!

My name is Ginger, and I’m 27 years old (about to be 28!). I like to play video games, watch Netflix, and get lost on Wikipedia occasionally. Darn website is SO distracting. I also enjoy taking pictures of things when I have time.

My friends are my top priority. I wouldn’t be who I am without them being so supportive and awesome all the time.

I’m currently sorting out my life and where I want to go and things I want to do. I went through a lot of changes in the past year and a half; while it’s a little scary to not know where I’m going, I’m optimistic about my future.

I just returned to retail, and I sell electronics. Before this, I sold video games!

The semicolon is my favorite piece of punctuation. That, and exclamation marks…those are pretty awesome too!

I look forward to writing on here šŸ™‚

Here’s a song that’s been stuck in my head ALL WEEK LONG!
