Movin' on up ( or at least moving )

Summer has just flown by me so quickly, and preparing to move has been a
much bigger task than I imagined. But as my move out date approached, and I
still had no job to direct my search, an oppurtunity arose. Mary Ann's
roomate accepted a job in another city, and to prevent Mary Ann from
breaking her lease, she needed someone to move in. Well she got two
someones, John and I. It just happened to be that it worked out so well, it
almost seems as if it was meant to be this way. It will be fun moving back
in with my sister, its been a long time since we have lived together and I
will also be closer to Dad, and very close to Sara and her family.
SO finding a job was also much harder than I imagined. I have put
applications in all over the place through Monster, and Hotjobs and only got
responses back that I didnt have enough experience. I interviewed with
Abercrombie and Fitch twice, once for a manager in training position and
then they wanted to interview me for a visual merchandising position. I
thought I had this job in the bag, I had schooling in the area, my interview
went really well (or so I thought) and they had upped the ante and had
called me for a better position. But several days later, I got a card in the
mail saying that they were looking at other people. What a dissapointment!
Here I am thinking I have all this background, good personality and
originality and then nothing. Maybe it was the originality part they didnt
like. It is A&F after all, I guess I dont really fit right in with their
style.
Then last weekend, as I looking for apartments in lower MI, I get a call
from a lady at ManAlive, a hip-hop clothign company that I had applied for
online. I got an interview on Monday in Grand Rapids for a manager position.
My interview lasted a long time, and I am thinking my interview went well,
but I still havent heard back from anyone, even after I left messages with
the lady I interviewed with. I am preparing myself for another
dissapointment, but am hoping for the best.
As it stands, I am moving on the 26th down to Bellville with Mary Ann and
will start my search over again. Cross your fingers.......
