Why did I create this blog? Well, because I'm suffering from the title. Post graduation slump. Today, August 7th 2014, marks two months and four days from my graduation. And I'm so proud to have graduated University, I'm the first in my family to do so and pretty much one of the first among my friends. The issue I'm having is finding a good job. I have a job right now, Part/Full time (25-35 hours a week) at a retail store. I love my job but it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life. This part of my life should be exciting and exhilarating and it's not what I thought it would be at all.
I've graduated from a University with a degree in exactly what I wanted to do, and now I'm having trouble finding a job. Now this isn't completely true, I've been able to find jobs... but not the right job. I've had countless Skype/Phone/Online/Email interviews, even a few in person interviews. But something just is not adding up. I want to go abroad and teach English, I've wanted to for years and years... and now I'm having trouble getting my foot in the door. I'm getting stuck with recruiters that just want to make money off of me, ones what don't care if they put me in schools with poor conditions and bad staff.
Maybe I'm picky... as for now, I'm enjoying my time working as a retail girl. I'm hoping the right job will find me as I continue my search. I've had a lot of good leads that don't turn out so great, but I'm never going to lose hope.
