Job hunting sucks ass. I doubt it helps that I'm slightly picky about it too. I want computer related work. Something technical, not clerical. The problem is
1) I only have one year work experince and thats what the look at, i have many more years of play and hobbie experince, which makes it difficult to look qualified.
2) not a whole lot of them out there
3) short essay type questions to apply for a job, kind of a pain.
4) not knowing anyone on the inside for a little bit of help. (IE how i got this job)
but i do have an offer to work for a local shop part time doing hardware and software. I have yet to decide if i want to take this type of possition as
1) Hours will not be set
2) I dont actually need the money
3) Take away from my free time and potentialy my weekends
4) Having to work with people that I would find frustrating and or annoying on many levels
5) Having to deal with the public/customers with computer problems.
but there are good parts too like
1) extra money
2) looks good on reume
Still thinkin on it. but as we can see the bad out weighs the good. but the good could be weighted more heavily.
Anyone in the Eugene area looking to hire a versatile hard working, more than willing to learn new things Computer Guy? I am proficient in: HTML, Photoshop, Office, FileMaker, Linux, Windows 9x-XP, Networking with TCP/IP, and PC hardware.
8:56pm: Briefcase is now functional. I may start the switch over tomorrow sometime. Still lots of configureation to be done but im about to start on that portion of the task now.
