Job hunting
Something happened today that made me determined to find a job. So when I got home early from school, I decided to see what I could do on the internet. You know, just look around to see if they'd put advertisements up. That was so I wouldn't look like a complete fool begging people to hire me even though they aren't currently hiring. It was hard work. There are hardly any sites that advertise part-time jobs for high school students. I did find one though, www.hippo.com.au, through that I found an ad for Hudson's Coffee which I am thinking about applying for. I'm not sure yet.
The reason I decided I needed a job was I WANT TO GO TO ENGLAND AND PARIS AT THE END OF THE YEAR!!! This is all thanks to Rowena. She put the idea in my head and now I'm really excited and I really want to go. I realize I have next to no chance of my parents ever letting me go, let alone fork out the cash for me to fly halfway around the world for fun. (I have butterflies in my stomach right now because I'm thinking about trying to write a resume) I think they'd be more inclined to let me go if I paid some of the expenses myself. Before I apply for anything though, I need to have a chat with my parents and work out how long I should work and whether I can fit it all in.
I don't know why anyone would hire me though! I have no experience, discounting that time when I worked in a market with my aunty selling jewellry (I stood up for like, 5 hours!). Awww I suck. I really want to go to England though! I need to start saving money too, I'm considering going interstate for uni so I'll need some intermediate cash while moving and looking for a job. Also, I can't stay with my parents forever! Even if I don't go interstate, I need to buy a house and support myself once I finish uni. Once I get a full time job I don't intend on staying with my parents. I love them very much, but mum wants me out of the house ASAP.
Wow, long term planning is very draining. I MUST FINISH MY HOMEWORK NOW. I've been procrastinating (what's new?) all day.
With love,
Mel
