Oh My! Another Cover Letter!
Man, writing all these different cover letters is getting annoying but I'm doing what I know I have to do! This search is getting annoying for crying out loud. It's just a sign that I'm getting closer to the end. I have to submit my DMV driving report for one position. So, I mailed off the form and a $5 check to get the report from the DMV and now I have to play the waiting game for this report before I can mail off my job application. Any means necessary. Meanwhile, I'm still working the N'crease Youth Ministry at the church. I'm making changes that will help them to get and stay organized. I'm HUGE on organization. Well, I'm going to keep this post short because there's not much to add in regard to the job search. Until next time, be blessed.

Another Job Fair
On Wednesday, I went to another job fair at the LAX Double Tree Hotel. Well, they said it wasn't a "job fair" but that's what it was, an organized job fair. The only possible opportunity that I would remotely be interested in is an opportunity with Goodwill. It was for a Financial Analyst and guess what? I meet the minimum qualifications. YAAAAY me!!! So I left my resume and I'm following the application instructions, which I'll be done with tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get a call back. I just say it's in God's hands and if it's in His will, I just pray He shows me favor. I claim it in the name of Jesus!
On the other hand, I finally got a chance to meet with the Department of Labor about a claim that I filed last July against my former employer, Trilogy Financial Services. Actually, Trilogy was at the job fair and the girl who was monitoring the booth looked at me and said I looked familiar. LOL. Isn't that funny? I didn't give my identity away but I talked to her for a quick minute and left it alone. Ok back to the Department of Labor! The guy I met with advised, off the record, that I look into working with Morgan Stanley or Charles Schwab. I didn't want to work in Sales or Financial Advising anymore but maybe they offer better opportunities. I figure I'll give it a try right? Well, Morgan Stanley didn't have any local opportunities but Charles Schwab had an opportunity in Glendale, CA that I applied for. So, we'll see.
I haven't been progressive with the Red Cross. Just not enough time but I have been working with the youth ministry at church. I really enjoy my position there. I love the young adults at the church! I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I really do! I feel in my spirit that the favor of God is with me and my blessing is right around the corner because I'm a heir.

Back From The Job Fair
So I have totally been meaning to post something for a while. I went to the job fair and guess what everyone was offering. SALES JOBS!!! Good grief! It was so annoying and a complete waste of time. Well not completely. I was given some good advice and great feedback about possible other opportunities. One lady at a booth suggested that I sign up with an Accounting temporary agency like AccountingTempts.com (or something like that). She noted that she's done that in the past and many companies choose to keep you on if you've done a good job even after the temporary assignment is complete. I think I just may have to take that advice and see what happens.
On the other hand, I've updated my resume (AGAIN) and I like it A LOT better than what it used to be. The problem is, it's saved on a computer that has a malfunctioning internet connection. Go figure! What I'm going to have to do is save it on a flash drive and email it from a different computer.
I still have yet to hear from any of the companies that I applied with. I guess I'm going to test out my new resume and try the Accounting Temps thing and see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
Other than that, I'm swamped with work for school. I have 3 online classes and the 3rd one just started on March 8th so it added a bit more of a work load on my plate. To top it off, I'm still working with the youth group at church and I haven't really had the chance to focus much on the Red Cross. I'm doing my best to juggle all three and continue to stay focused on the job search. The vegan diet is going very well and if you have any suggestions on meal ideas, let me know. Until next time, I'm releasing blessings to you all...so go and be blessed.
