oh, job hunt.

it's time.  i have to return to the job hunt.  this time, i finally have enough work experience to ask a temp agency for help.  i made an appointment with adecco.  it will be in a few weeks.  i picked them even though they are an hour bus ride to get to.  i picked them because they seemed more professional than the other places i called and they offer a good benefits package which i need.

at first i was going to make an appointment for next week but when i made that call, the time slot i wanted was already taken.  thus, i didn't want an afternoon appointment and asked for the next morning appointment.  i am glad the appointment is two weeks away.  i wasn't sure yet if i wanted a part-time or full-time job.  a part-time position will allow me to continue volunteering at the club.  i also considered a full-time position at the club since i wanted to work in the non-profit sector.  for some reason, i thought the pay would be reasonable.  that it would be more than retail.  after looking up salaries on glassdoor.com, it confirmed what i was afraid of:  low pay.  i know it's the non-profit sector but still.  it burst my bubble.  what do i do?  what if they offer me a job before i find something with the temp agency?  i surely hope i find a better job with a better pay through the agency before something comes up at the club.  unless of course, i can't find anything better through the agency, then i will take a job with the club.  i wish my choices were easier to make.

...unrelated to the job hunt, one of my supervisors gave me two tickets to the movies today as a token of her appreciation for the work i've been doing there.  it was so nice of her.  i really do like the people at this club.  everyone, the adults at least, really do care about the kids and the mission of the club.  if i do get a job somewhere else, i will surely miss this place.
