i am printing a dozen resumes, as we speak, on my crappy printer. my friend alan and i are going to go hand out resumes to every store we deem acceptable to work at. i think it’s good to have standards (which is why i am am not shovelling frozen fries at the nearest burger king), but it’s not good to be picky with job-hunting. especially if you have no experience at all.

people tell me it will be easier to get a job the second time around, seeing as how i have already covered almost all of the basics (i.e., retail employee, office receptionist, and web developer [i’m embarrassed to even write this, for the sole reason that i am computer-illiterate]). another friend told me that 95% of those who simply hand out resumes never get an interview or call-back, for that matter. this makes me sad and disillusioned.

i don’t even see why i need a job right now. i’m supposed to be on vacation. va-ca-tion. my parents translate this as my duty to get a full-time job and work my ass off while clinging to no apparent shred of an enjoyable youth. i just want to be in england.
