job hunting

Like my mother, I have also joined the ranks of the unemployed. So far the fact that I am working on my Masters degree has been sufficient reason for not having one but I'm really starting to get the itch to get back in the game.

Just to clarify, I have been 'working' and earning money but outside of my field of study and degree. The problem with having several things that you are passionate about (like Tooie, the girl I live with and have been tutoring in Math) is that sometimes you have to set down one passion in order to pick up another. I am passionate about the people and places where I have been working but I am looking for something on the next level of my business degree.

This morning I had a job interview for a position in a well known multinational company to do something that I would be really good at. The interviewers were friendly enough and I think I presented myself accurately and honestly. I even got a call back for a second interview over the phone, so looks like that may be a positive thing. Even with all the good feedback- what an effort it is to try and share who you are in only one face to face verbal exchange and a phone call. It must be even more difficult for the interviewer trying to pick the right candidate. I can only imagine what all sorts of people are going through in their search for jobs back home.

Third interview with the country director is on Monday...say a little prayer for me.
