Job-hunting

Well, I can understand where people are coming from when they say there are no jobs.  Ok, technically not true.  There are loads of jobs.  However, I will say, there are no jobs.  Why?  Well, I need to work at least sixteen hours a week. Finding a job that provides enough hours is tricky.  Most available jobs require previous experience.  Now, it sounds kind of pathetic really but I have no previous experience working in a shop.  And what experience I do have is technically well out of date.  If there are hundreds of people applying for every available job, is it any wonder that lots of us feel there are no jobs available.  Oh, and there are many I haven’t applied for because even though they are offering more than sixteen hours a week, they want people who can work evenings.  That of course would provide me with major childcare issues.  I cannot work up to eleven o clock at night.  So, I keep looking.  I need something by July.  I am beginning to panic again.  Joy.  Oh, and I can only assume I’m not going to get any of the jobs I have applied for, given they were wanting people to start at Easter, and I haven’t heard anything from them.  Yay.

On a lighter note, The Child has lost her first tooth.  And she has a second wobbly tooth too.  She’s growing up so fast.  I can’t quite believe it.  And though I may have moment where I miss my little baby, I really couldn’t go through it all again.  So that’s something at least.

Oh, and the counselling skills course is still keeping me somewhat sane.  I’m still enjoying it, and therefore still depressed that I won’t be able to do any further courses.  Grrr.  At least I have something to aim for when I have money.  I’m still not sure if I’m glad I’ve found this or not.  Hmm.
