I'm Job Hunting... HELP !!!!!
I've been looking for a job for about a month now. Haven't replied to every ad or anything like that; I'm simply applying for jobs that look interesting and feel like they suit me and I'd suit them.
Perhaps later on in the game I'll start applying for just about anything, but right now I'm still being picky.
I may not have finished Uni, however I am University educated and have half a Bachelor degree - my thinking is at University level, I write good essays, my research skills are ace and I learn quickly. I'd like a job that involves using my brain. I've done cleaning jobs and supermarket jobs and I really enjoyed them, however now I'm looking for a different challenge.
So today I applied for a job. I apply for one or two a week it seems - Yup I did say I'm picky. The funniest thing though was when the website had processed my application and it asked me if I'd like to Tweet about applying for a job. Now I may have a blog and a Twitter account, however unless people know me they won't figure out who I am from reading my blog or my Twitter. And honestly, I just don't get why I'd want to share the fact that I applied for a job with a bunch of strangers.
People who restrict their Twitter accounts to just their friends - yeah I get that they'd want to Tweet about everything they do, however I'm just not that interested in sharing all the minutiae of my life with everyone who's got access to a computer or smartphone.
To be honest, the idea that someone looking to harm me or those I love is out there is just too scary and real. I know how easy it is to find out information about people online like addresses and family details, and while I don't mind sharing some aspects of my life, there are other things - private things like my real name and address for instance - that I'd much rather keep to myself.
So no - I won't be Tweeting about applying for a job. That's information I consider private. Actually getting a job, now that is something I'd gladly tell everyone on Twitter about!
