Well the end of employment is now in sight and I've reached that stage I knew I would reach. That stage where I can't get to sleep at night because I'm worried about money. I lay with my eyes closed thinking about how many weeks I will be able to afford to go without a pay cheque. How many car payments? How many cell bills? Should I cancel my gym membership? Should I put William's RESP on hold?
It's a terrible time of the year to be looking for a job... at least that's what I've been told a few times by and employment counselor that has been assigned to our office. And he actually had the nerve to tell me to just take any job and then look for something else when I secure something. Is that what employment counselors get paid to tell you? I thought that he would suggest ways to research employment opportunities that would stimulate me. Help me find headhunters that would increase my odds of becoming gainfully employed. That I should make the best of an awful situation and try and improve my position. Nope. Thankfully I'm not paying him.
Today I decided to submit my resume to a placement agency that specializes in the accounting industry. I have heard some good things and some bad things, but lets face it... a job is better than none.
I'm also holding out hope that a Collections Officer position that I applied for with the province will at least result in an interview. The pay would be comparable and it would get my foot in the door and possibly lead to opportunities that are far more stimulating to me than month end accruals.
Who knows what the next few months will bring... I just wish I at least knew how long I would be unemployed so I could budget accordingly cause this lack of sleep is cramping my style.
