I have been at my job for almost 9 months and so happy! I have applied to two different positions at two different colleges and the first location still waiting for them to call the candidates. 2nd location just applied and hasn't closed yet not until next week. I am still learning as much as I can at my present job and started writing technical articles for the tech center.

I am trying to prepare myself for a full time transition coming soon as I feel that I will get the job at the 1st location (hopefully the job isn't a few months and that is it otherwise I will not accept it) where I can make more money. However, I am still looking for a 2nd job the problem is these employers don't wanna be flexible with my work schedule that I already have it's like they want me to leave my job to work for them. They didn't have anything to offer me I heard mostly contract either no renewal or may be a renewal (they don't have to keep you at all either). I told them I want stable and permeability as I am already on a contract at my job. The usual we will keep your name on file if we find something, we will contact you. In my dept, we are short staffed too I close at night M-Th - someone has to do it there isn't anybody else.

My coworker told me to talk to other depts on campus seeing if they need part time help as I can have two jobs on campus and don't have to travel a lot and gain more experience. That is true, but I can't go over 25 hrs if I had two jobs on campus my hours would be 12 in my dept and 12 in another. Then, I'd be on another contract in another dept. These temp jobs don't last and I want something that's gonna last! My boyfriend said if you have another job in another dept look how great that's gonna look to other employers that you are increasing your skills even more which I do agree.

Having two temp jobs is not gonna help me get to my main personal goal that I am still working on. The budget money is the problem which is why a lot of the depts are short staff and very hard to get board approved. My one year is Feb 2015, so I am thinking if I still can't get anywhere within the college district, that I will have to start moving on finding a full time job elsewhere and there is a college I would like to work for (well, a university).

I am still hoping to get another job similar to what I am doing if that works because the calls I've been getting they want 2 yrs of experience. I don't know just more things to thing about, I don't know what else I could do as most jobs out there I don't qualify for. I am still wanting to do short term job training and go to this tech center in another city to learn different things and still get certifications yep a lot of things I still wanna do lol. I would hate to leave the school I work for and graduated from 4 yrs ago, but I may have to do that later on. Just some venting and seeing what options do I have left.....
