Unusually Good News
Well, out of sheer necessity (asking my folks for money and ensuring I didn't come to them with empty hands NOT full of job prospects) I called up a temp agent (thank you, Fizz and Juantas) and waltzed right into a temp agent position. Ta-da!
Still, my folks were not as pleased as I was about my recent activities, concerned that when-the-wind-blows dependency on job calls is NOT a steady income. Lo and behold, this morning I get a call from my agent (may God continue to bless this great man) telling me that, not only has he found me a $13/hr week-long job to start on Monday, but it's with an NPO (!!!) called The Partnership for the Homeless. How excited am I?!?!
Well, this prospect is chock full of opportunities: potential for internship credit (translatable into school credit, aka graduating earlier), networking capabilities (introduction the NP community), and permanent job offers within the organisation.
Oh, I'm coming with résumé (and a writing sample) in hand.
Now, if only I had some clothes to wear...
