Today, my friend and co-worker, Julie asked me what I plan on doing when my internship is over. I haven’t even unpacked my clothes trunk and now people are asking about my plans for leaving!
I am feeling a little stressed out about this because after this internship have no job to go home to. I am not sure what I am going to do about that. I guess the only thing to do is start the long process of looking for a new job.
I hate the process. Truely hate it. Updating my resume, website, and social media sites; researching companies, and trying desperately to network with the right people, it’s almost enough to make me want to move back in with Mom and Dad. Well, ok, it’s not THAT bad! The biggest problem is that with the current “bad” economy, my hometown is pretty desolate. I am not opposed to moving I guess, if this this process has taught me anything it’s that I am pretty flexible. I moved to a city I have never been to, managed to make some friends and even found some horses to ride. I am quite proud of myself for this especially since people used to make fun of me for never leaving Eugene.
I already have a few sort of “crap shoot” ideas for jobs and all would involve me moving FAR away. I don’t want to give anything away just yet, so I will save that for another day.
I will keep you all updated as I go along on my journey.
