Eureka
Yo.
So the other night, I had a great idea with regard to my job search. Here's what I did. I posted on craigslist an advertisement for my ideal job- with appropriate job description. By doing so, I would attract the people who apply for the job that I want. I posted a fake email address, so they would send their resumes to the email address, which I could check.
By doing this, I would be able to see who I'm up against. Beyond that, and the fact that it was kind of an interesting idea, I'm not sure what good it is. It is a bit ethically wrong, but it is educational to some extent. It seems as though the people who've sent their resumes, that every one of them is padding it in some way or another.
This makes me feel good and bad. I am proud of the fact that I have not padded my resume in the slightest bit. At the same time, I wonder whether I need to pad it, in order to get myself a job.
Off the subject, but the job search as of late has made me more inclined to start my own business. I know, I know. Talk is cheap and until I walk the walk, the talk is not good for anything. I really need to come up with a brilliant idea and take it to the house.
Back to the search though, I went to the UT mens' basketball game last night with Mrs. Mooney, and she pulled a little trick out of her sleeve when she introduced me to jen ohlson who is in charge of sales for the arena. By doing so, she may have found me a part time job helping to see that the stadium is filled for all the games. We shall see how that one pans out.
For the mean time, it's Thursday night, and I've only got a good day of work to look forward to tomorrow. I really need to keep the work on my book rolling. It seems as though the toughest part about writing, for me, is finding the motivation to do it. It's so much easier said than done, as is everything in life.
So thought for the day: start walking the walk and start making things easier done than said.
Adieu.
