job search/ online dating/ Rookie Blue

June 20 Job search: I went to clickclassified.ca because it was advertised in Job Classifieds. All the jobs on the site, are linked to Job Classifieds. However, it does have other things like selling cars, real estate, and stuff. If you're interested, go check it out.

Connect Logistics is hiring an admin. assistant, however it's in St. Albert and that's not really part of Edmonton. It's too far away. Job Classifieds always advertise the same schools like Digital School and Reeves College. They're not as good of schools like MacEwan, but they do help people get jobs.

I applied to Flightcentre.ca again. I applied there way back in Dec. 2009. It's good to try again. Did you know Wendy's is hiring and the pay is $10.59? The locations are too far away.

I found out that eliteindoorparking.com is hiring. However, it's in Leduc and that's not part of Edmonton either. It's by the Edmonton International airport. It's valet parking. They are hiring for admin and customer service representatives, so that's why I looked it up.

I see that R&M Energy System's Canada is hiring customer service representative, but I looked it up on Google maps, and it's on 98th St. That's really far away. I see that Fashion Addition 14+ is hiring. There are benefits. I thought they might not hire me because I'm not plus size. lol. That would be putting obstacles in front of myself.

I then looked it up on the internet, and the only location is in Lendrum Shopping Centre, and that's really far away. I know that there is going to be a point where I have to travel really far to get a reg. job instead of an office job. I would have to take a few buses to get there. I'll stick with looking for a job at West Ed mall so I can take 1 bus.

I see that Wild Rose Liquor store is hiring a F/T cashier for $11.25/hr. That's good, but it's way over in Mayfield. The restaurant Kurry and Kabob are hiring cooks ($14.25/hr) and food counter attendants ($11.50/hr). However, it's through a staffing agency. It's also way over in Ellerslie.

Facebook job search: I emailed my friend Cameron again. He's the 15 yr old brother of Ray. I worked with both of them. I emailed him again to ask if anyone's hiring and he says if he knew there was one, he would take it. lol. I then went and emailed all my Facebook friends again, the ones who didn't reply back last month. Some did reply, but it wasn't really helpful because it didn't lead to any jobs. Well, keep working at it.

I got a couple of emails from my MacEwan friends and they don't have anything either. I then went and emailed all my NAIT friends again.

Friends: I called up my friend Dan from MacEwan, and he said he's busy studying. I called up Jessica, and she's going out of the country today. I called Sherry, and she was busy. I called my friends Leslie and Sonia, and they weren't there. I then met up with Justin at Sorrentino's and he told me to apply at the cell phone companies.

There is high turnover, but it depends on how you look at it. It's good so they're always hiring, but it's bad because the company can't keep their employees.

I just called my friend Angela and we talked about my job search.

June 21: I got some more replies on Facebook. Tamera from high school said Job Bank, Kijiji, and Edmonton Job Shop which I've done. Lori from NAIT said she owns her cleaning company which is very different from studying graphic design. She has nothing about jobs.

Shauna from MacEwan says go to the college websites and govt. of Canada. Jenna from high school who works at the bank said 5 new people have been hired at her branch. She's also looking for a job.

Job interview: Today I went to a job interview at the Royal Alberta Museum's cafe. It's really nice. I may have been there for a field trip. I can't remember. It was 40min. to get there. I had 30min early so I read the Metro. The interview went well, but when I asked the usual question of how many people are up for this position, she said there 50 people up for 2 part-time positions.

Maybe I heard it wrong, and it was 15, but that's still a lot of people. I then went to West Ed mall. I haven't been there in months and there was so much has changed about it.

Online dating: This is getting bad. The other day this guy emailed me on the site, and I deleted it. He then emails me again so I said I wasn't interested because the age difference was too great. Then he emails me 4 more times saying that he likes me, he gave me his number and said to please call him. There are 6 emails from him today.

This guy sounds desperate. I'm going to block him. I have never blocked anyone before, but I will now. I was about to block this other guy who I thought was really bad back in Jan. You can refresh your memory on www.badcb.blogspot.com on Jan. 13 blog post.

I think the guy in Jan. has found me again. If I remember his name, it was Scott. Then when I went to see his profile again, it was gone on that day in Jan. So a few weeks ago, he did post his picture, and it's not the same pic. But it could be him. He is also one yr older, so that's more evidence.

The definite evidence is that in his profile he said to email him back even if it's to say no. I had deleted his emails when he first contacted me back in Jan. That's how we got into this email fight.

June 22 Finances: I read the Edmonton Journal's Classifieds, no luck. Then I called Service Canada and checked my bank account to see if I gotten my EI yet, no luck. Then I called Booster Juice to get my ROE because I checked my paycheck. I did work 65 hours and I should get one.

My old manager says she will call the account and I'll get it in the mail. I called Taste of Mediterranean to see if they're hiring. A month or so ago I was talking to the manager prior to getting hired from Booster Juice. A lot of time has passed, so I knew there was going to be a small chance that they're hiring. It's still good to give it a shot. One MacEwan friend emailed back saying she doesn't know of any jobs. One other MacEwan friend does, and she will tell me about it on the phone.

Cell phone jokes: I was watching the sitcom Parks and Recreation awhile back. There was a meeting and then a gun shot rings out.

Ron Swanson: Oh, that's my cell phone.
Me: Really? There's a ringtone that's the sound of a gunshot?
Sister: You know someone's going to make one because of this show.

That reminds me of that Clue book that's based on the board game. A mystery was about this doorbell that sounded like a gun shot.

The other day I was hanging out with Justin, and he said that he saw on CNN, you know those loud horns at FIFA? They have now made ring tone out of that horn. lol.

Tosh.O: I was watching this show, and Daniel dressed in the bear costume and he was told he was wearing the wrong costume.

Daniel: What? I'm wearing the wrong costume? I feel so embarrassed.
D puts his paws on his eyes, looks down, and shakes his head.
It was so cute and funny.

24: I passed out 20 resumes to restaurants and stores in downtown today. I applied to 4 places that did tell me they weren't hiring, but they will keep my resume on file just in case. I did apply to 2 places that were hiring.

I picked up today's 24 and see psychic Miki's advice. Someone said he or she has been unemployed since Nov.2008. He took payroll and accounting classes, but can't get a job. Miki tells him to volunteer to gain experience. Then put that experience on his resume.

I then emailed my resume to be a receptionist.

Scams: I called my MacEwan friend Jennifer and she said she has an investment opportunity at www.fhtm.ca. That's a red flag. I'm looking for a job. I have read so many times in the newspapers about investment scams, and there's the TV show American Greed that does a lot of episodes about that.

While I'm at I'll warn you about Quixtar which is pyramid scheme. The proof is to get 50 of your friends into it. I'll throw in Vector Marketing which is bad. I showed Vector to my dad, and he said it's a scam. My friend Daniel from jr. high and high school says he did go into it for a short time.

June 23 Rookie Blue: The series premiere of this show is on tomorrow on Global. It stars Missy Peregrym from the movie Stick It, Gregory Smith from the TV show Everwood, and Enuka Okuma, the black woman from Sue Thomas FB Eye. I saved the best for last, it has my favorite Edmonot actor Eric Johnson on it too. The above are all Canadian. Check it out.
