Job Search 2008! New and Improved! Now with degree letters!

Went a-huntin' for a job today. O woe is me.

Printed up my résumé all prettyfied, and got myself gussied up in my new clothes and hit the local temp agencies.

Manpower was first, where the woman seemed impressed and said I presented myself well, but said I may be "too hairy" for some offices, and the job market's flat right now. Whatever. I was still in their system, and she said it only said good things about my performance at previous job placements.

Kelly Services was next, where I got back on the active list, and got the contact info for the Kelly Tech office in Seattle.

Then I went to Express Personnel, filled out one an application, and handed it in with my résumé. The lady was impressed with my résumé presentation. She said they'd call me Wednesday to set up an interview.

Which is great, except that means I had to email Bruce and tell him I couldn't go with him to American Ridge Wednesday. I hafta be a grown-up. Whine whine whine.

If it's a place that piss tests, then I don't want to work there any more than they want me to work there.

that's what i say... (same goes for my beard)

but i haven't had much luck finding places that don't have a test, surprisingly... i think i'm just lazy tho ;p

Yes, but you live in Texas...

yeah, but it's austin... you'd think it'd be at little more lenient towards that kinda thing...

Good luck with that... any grooming/manscaping required on your part? (Just curious... ;) )

Big D gets piss tested on both her jobs. She gets tired of that.

Fortunately, I am not working construction, and don't live in Kansas anymore...
