Finally. Things are starting to look up in my life when it comes to the J.O.B. department. I do have a job now. It isn't a full-timer, yet. And it isn't related to my field. But at least I do have a job (Rowan-Cabarrus Community College), and that's more than I could say a month ago.
Everyone keeps asking me, what are you going to be doing? And I can honestly say to them, I really don't know yet. Today (5/8) was my first day and has mainly comprised of showing me around the different buildings and learning some of the passcodes to the security.
My training actually begins next week. I mainly think I will be sitting at the front desk and answering any kind of administration type questions. My job title is Continuing Education Administrator.
I also have a position lined up with CarolinaPreps.com, a prep football website that covers North Carolina High School football. That will be in the fall when football season rolls around. I am hoping that will turn into some type of good profit and will look nice on my resume.
I am continuing to look for a job in the journalism industry. I found two positions very recently that I'm considering applying for. One is with the Greensboro Business Journal and the other is with the Mecklenburg Times. Both are reporter positions.
I met with a friend recently who used to work at the Salisbury Post. His name is Brad Thomas and he is helping me set up the church's website that I've been working on. He said he was going to speak with some colleagues of his that might be able to help me in finding a position.
Got to (or have to) love networking!
Other than the job situation, I am really looking forward to my Rowan Legion baseball season beginning! It is my favorite time of the year and I live for it.
Yes, things are definitely looking up!
