The Job Hunt Continues...

For those of you tuned to the situation, here's what has happened in the past week:

• I arrived at my friends' apartment in Glendale one week ago, safe and sound.  News arrived soon after that we got the apartment we applied for.  We sign the lease tomorrow!

• I've managed to apply for a BUNDLE of jobs, both inside and outside my field of expertise.  Included are:
-- 4 applications at Best Buy (2 in Burbank, 2 in West Hollywood)
-- 3 applications at CBS (Page, Mailroom Messenger, Administrative Assistant at CBS 2)
-- 2 applications to USC (Payment Specialist and Administrative Assistant in Student Affairs)
-- 1 applications each to Staples (Cashier), Borders (Bookseller), NBC (Universal Page), E! (Production Assistant), and BBC America (Executive Assistant).

All tolled, that's 14 applications in 7 days, and that's not counting the two I put in thru Craigslist.  I don't count those because, frankly, I don't trust them.  Why I applied for them in the first place?  Desperation, plain and simple.

If there are any Hiring Managers, HR Professionals, or other influential staffers out there:  I've been out of work for over ONE YEAR now.  It is the longest stretch of time I've gone without a job and, frankly, I'm going a bit stir crazy.  I've never gone this long without something to do and somewhere to go to do it.  TV's really boring thru the afternoon.  Give me a chance to show you that I can work for you!
