Anita Job

So I've just gotten home and need to apply for jobs. My goal was to do this Monday morning, but that is when my friend said he would come visit, so it was pushed back. Could've been done yesterday afternoon but I think I need to go in the morning. So today was the plan...and I got up and looked good and looked up the bus route and fixed my resume some and emailed a couple more jobs then printed my resume (half of the copies turned out too light) and brought Bruce upstairs for the chance to stretch and nibble on everything under my bed. ready to go. oh, I missed the bus...

And now I can't decide. Is it better to take the bus that gets downtown at 11:30 and apply today but during the lunch hour, or wait until tomorrow and try again to go in the morning (but on a Friday)? I think Jackie just decided for me that tomorrow is better and I think I decided that myself when I sat here to write this all down. So Friday it is. Four days later than my goal.

Here's the other issue:
Will someone hire me please? I have no professional experience. I've worked as a volunteer at the hospital and the shelter and schools and I've babysat kids for months at a time, but businesses don't see that as real experience. I could get a babysitting job easily, but I want to work where I can meet people and have coworkers for once. I think all the skills transfer: I almost never miss a day of work, I arrive on time, I am constantly busy and multi-tasking, and I take care of the needs of my customers. In some ways, I do more than most jobs ask for, but telling people that I babysit doesn't exactly show that off. I offered a cover letter, but that can only be so much...I at least need an interview. Or I just need someone to trust me and give me a shot!

Cross your fingers and hope that tomorrow will be the best job application day known to mankind (but for me, not for my competition) ;)
