Unemployment Sucks

As a college student, money can be hard to come by. I had it pretty good when in school, a babysitting job that payed semi-well but didn't really pay for my gas for the car, and I started to sell Mark. products. I also, towards the end of my babysitting job, became more financially aware of my bank account, or lack there of the money. What I didn't realize was, the person who hired me as the sitter was truly unsure if she needed me for the summer. She really didn't tell me until it was summer for her kids, and you guessed it, she didn't need me.

My adventure now is consisting of finding a job. It sucks, because it's the end of June and basically all the summer jobs are gone. I have applied to Fossil, Francesca's Collections, William-Sonoma, Fabrik, Victoria's Secret, Charlotte Russe, and Bath and Body Works. I have yet to hear from any of them. I have called to see my application status, but they all said they haven't looked at any of the applications yet. So I have to wait. I HATE WAITING. I'm the most impatient person in the world. I have also sent emails out with my resume to YMCA and even the history museum in VA.

But recently I came across Nordstrom's. They have a lot of positions open so my hope began to rise. Let's pray I hear something soon. If not I'm going to go crazy. I'm a flat broke college student that now has no money to pay for school when it starts.

The only other thing that is beginning to worry me is that I'm going on vacation at the end of this week, then going on a church youth retreat as a chaperon... Who's gonna hire me when I can't work at the end of this month and the beginning of July.

So let me just say unemployment sucks. In this chapter of my life I have applied to bunches of stores, sitting and waiting, calling, trying to get my Mark. business to work, and did I mention waiting?? I'm convinced that the economy is NOT getting better like the stupid media is saying. If it was, you would be seeing more college and high school kids in the jobs that they would usually be in. That's the end of my rant for now, now for my 15 sec. advertisement for my mark business: visit my store http://candacemorgan.mymarkstore.com/ Shop around. There are actually some cute clothes and accessories. Also awesome makeup and skin care products.
