And the Job Hunt of 2009 Continues...

Put in a lot of resumes, made some calls, sent a crazy-ton of e-mails over the past few days and nothing. I'm still on the search. I have the fear that by the time I actually get a positive call-back I'll be so desperate that I'll accept a job that I cannot live off of. Looks like rent is going to be at least $550-650 a month by what my calling of all the local property people tell me. I need to make at least $9 an hour on a full-time schedule to be able to cover rent, amenities, and make my loan payments every month, and the jobs that are hiring aren't paying anywhere near that. O__o;;; I'm going to be buried underneath a mountain of credit card debt before I'm 25, I can see it now.

And passing thought: Since you're in atlanta atm, have you thought of trying to poke around at Cartoon Network? I don't know how much luck you'd have but it'd be better to try than not. Location would be in your favor unlike mine. I had a classmate move to CA, get work and then moved to Georgia recently for CN.

And I admit, I'm very jealous of the support he's had to go and do it, too.

Thanks for the support hugs! :D

To work for Cartoon Network, you have to apply through Turner Broadcasting, and I just took my resume there the other day. Yay! :D They are looking for a graphic designer at CNN, but maybe they'll think my stuff might be good for an unlisted job at the Cartoon Network. I'd rather work for them or Adult Swim or TruTV. I also took my resume to Channel 2 and Fox Channel 5. I might try to go over to SCAD Atlanta and see if they need an adjunct professor or a tech person. XD

Good luck with those! I know I'm not the teaching type plus they want masters degrees for that (wtf, I can't afford a masters asides I am not keen on this masters is the new bachelor's bullshit). Theres' a lot of potential for Georgia so it's a bit of a comfort.

I just hate being stuck in Lancaster and there's really no opportunity for much of anything. :/ I'm needing to get my pitch balanced with my wedding planning so i can mail it out and maybe get luck with that.
