Ragamuffin

Today I filled out two applications to work as a firefighter – one for the City of Williamsburg, and the other for James City County (which is basically just Williamsburg, but because of Colonial Williamsburg the city limits don’t include the entirety of “Williamsburg”). I’ll be happy to work as a firefighter, though my lack of prior experience and training makes it an unlikely prospect.

I’ve also applied for...

Executive Assistant: Alumni Association at William & Mary
Office Manager: Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary
Anything: Trader Joe’s
Anything: Buon Amici (good Italian restaurant)
High School English Teacher: Williamsburg Public Schools
Middle School English Teacher: Williamsburg Public Schools
Anything: Barnes & Noble
Anything: Williamsburg Post Office (not hiring)

So far, no good. And I even got a haircut to look more professional. I have, however, been able to fill up the days with applications, resumes, cover letters, references, letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc.

How about trying some golf courses for a job? Start with the pro shop, but try maintenance, too. They like guys who are good with a weed whacker and a tractor!
