Our house is even better than I remembered. It's been total bliss, unpacking in a home where we actually have space to put things. I'm still working on the office and the master bedroom. And on the plus side, I need less stuff from IKEA than I originally thought!
And on the other part of my title, I am still looking for jobs. I just find it crazy that I have heard so little from companies. I thought Edmonton was a boom town and businesses were struggling to find good entry-level workers?
I applied for this communications assistant position on August 14th, the job closed on August 18th, and I heard from them about an interview on September 4th. I was completely shocked to hear from them because I had naturally assumed that not hearing anything after 18 days after the job closed meant that I was not going to hear from them ever. Nonetheless, I have an interview for Wednesday morning next week and I'm totally excited.
Originally, when I started searching I thought I'd be okay accepting an administrative assistant position in a cool company but after reflecting on it for a while, I realized that I'm not willing to settle. So I've narrowed my search to communications jobs or temp. admin jobs.
My big thing is to keep moving forward. I think if you stop trying to move forward, you start to get into situations that make you unhappy. Even with our house search. PL was looking for basement suites in addition to main floors, but I told him that we should push to move forward and only look at main floors. I just wanted us to be constantly pushing for something better than before. Maybe that's really superficial or shallow of me, I don't know. Shouldn't we always be striving for better, instead of settling for less?
