Two to three years ago, I have the worst job experience of my life. First it was this experience:
I didn't get the chance to work for the Fund for the Public Interest (my prospective job) as a paid canvasser today due to the morning traffic. I arrived at the office 10 minutes late and the staff, which consists of 2 people, told me that they will not observe me because I came late, they were on a tight schedule, and there's already 2 people that came before me for the same job. As of right now, I am jobless once again. :(
Then it was this experience that happened a few months later:
In May of 2011, I got the chance and the opportunity to work as an Environment California canvasser for the Fund for the Public Interest for one whole day. The experience itself did not go well. I got transferred to three different city intersections throughout midtown Sacramento, trying to get some people to stop, learn about the campaign so that they can support and gain enough grassroots for the campaign, and to donate some money that will go towards the campaign. I got a few people to stop so that they can learn about the campaign, but most of them just walked on by and told me the one word that I hate the most: "NO." I totally understand that they don't have the time to stop and listen to what I have to say about the campaign because it's a work day and their daily 9 to 5 jobs are their top priority. The worst part is that the few people that stopped to learn about the campaign DID NOT DONATE to the campaign!!!!! That got me so angry!!!!! At the end of the day, I was TERMINATED by the boss. She forced me turn in the uniform and the work supplies and told me to leave. I was completely devastated. :(
Now I just avoided the "people who are on the streets trying to get the people to stop and listen to what they have to say about their cause" completely by simply finding another way/route just to get around them. It is my way of saying that I ABSOLUTELY HATED THAT JOB and I just don't have the time to listen to them.
That is my revenge to the Fund for the Public Interest. Good Riddance to that company once and for all!!!!! I will never go back there again!!!!!!!
Between 2008 and today, I have filled out several job applications and I am having a very hard time trying to find a single paid job whether it be in retail stores, grocery stores, food and beverage places/restaurants, bookstores, department stores, shopping center retail stores, etc. The result of it is that I ended up being empty handed and the reason for that is because it's tough, it's very competitive, they are not hiring, or that they filed your job application in some compartment at that company and they never seem to get around to it...like ever.
This goes to show that this economy is extremely weak right now at this moment and it is recovering at a very slow pace.
Going through all of that, I feel like I just want to give up. They don't want me, they feel like that I am not ready to take on those challenges in the real world and that I don't have any work experience whatsoever, they don't care about me, etc.
Well, you know what? Until the society offers me a chance/opportunity at a real world paid occupation that will help me get my foot in the door so that I will become a contributing person to this crazy world, I would just HATE on the economy/society for what it is today.
So with that, I would like to say this: Economy, Society, World, I HATE YOU! I LOATHE YOU! I don't like the things that you are doing to me! If I were to have a weapon, I would hunt you down, beat you up, but most importantly, KILL YOU! I JUST WANT A SINGLE PAID JOB, THAT'S ALL! I AM IN DESPERATE NEED! PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB! And yet, YOU DIDN'T RESPOND! TO HELL WITH YOU, World/Society/Economy! TO. HELL. WITH. YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There. I got that out of my system.
Fortunately, I didn't give up. I got back on the horse once again.
I have looked for more jobs and have filled out more job applications, but unfortunately, I ended up empty handed once again.
Oh, how I hate this never-ending process!
And with that, I took a long break from job-seeking and I focus more on internship-seeking.
I did apply to an internship offering at a casting talent agency, but unfortunately I didn't get the internship.
I then talked to my Theater Teacher at CSUN about finding an internship in the entertainment industry and he advised me to apply for the internship at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica, CA. I did just that by sending my resume to that place via email and that leads me to an interview with them, and that leads to me getting that internship!!!!!! YAY!!!!! I AM BEYOND EXCITED!!!!! I will start working there next month!!!!! I thanked my theater teacher for giving me this opportunity. If it wasn't for him, I would be hopeless in finding an internship on my own and I will be going through a never-ending cycle of me being rejected over and over again and I can't take the rejection anymore.
I need some real-world work experience, darn it!
Good thing I FINALLY obtained one that is in MY field of interest, the entertainment industry-music, theater, film, etc., and not just a BORING 9 to 5 paid job that will help me make some money and pay the bills (even though I WANTED a real world 9 to 5 paid job, and in DESPERATE need for that as well, so that I can make some money on my own and not depend on my parents for EVERYTHING. I really love my parents so much and I really appreciate for what they are doing for me and for my siblings. :) <3).
And with that, my prayers have been answered.
IT'S A MIRACLE.
AMEN!
ALLELUIA!
I FINALLY GOT A REAL WORLD, REAL LIFE, WORK EXPERIENCE AND IT'S IN A FORM OF AN INTERNSHIP.....
AND I WILL START WORKING THERE NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
SANTA MONICA, HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!
