ITT: I suck at job hunting, do you?
Blue Kitty:
What's funny is that most of the jobs I've applied for have hired me right away. My first job I got a call to come in on Thursday for an interview, then half an hour later they told me I had the job and should come in on Friday.

Yeah friends putting in a good word for you helps bunches, and persistence is also key. when i got my interview at world market i had been calling them every few days for about a week and a half, and when i got there they'd lost my application. but they just had me fill out another and i got the job anyway.

That is the awkward flip-side of landing a great freelance gig. It'll be over in a few weeks, and now it'll be harder to land the next gig because my standards have been raised.

My best advice is to hang out around universities. There is almost always a menial temp research-assistant position around somewhere that doesn't require any special skills and pays surprisingly well for the amount of work involved, and once you're in the network of academically-oriented day workers, you can usually find another job like it if you need to, there's always another research project that needs people to make it happen. Also, if all else fails, you can get money by participating in the studies.

I've been applying to places since January. Just started getting interviews last week.
Really hope I get the preschool job.
