A Glimmer of Hope

So, I've been applying to jobs pretty efficiently since I first got here, but nothing has really come up. I have a few connections here that have been helping me figure out different ways to look at open positions in the event and meeting planning field, so overall, I still feel good about my search. I have, however, started to apply for more part-time jobs that are just meant to sustain me while I search for something that I really want. I've applied at a couple of different gyms, Macy's downtown, and I plan on applying at places like Whole Foods. My main goal here is to stay away from handling food. I've worked fast food, been a server, worked in the kitchen at school and it's just not something that I'd like to continue on with.

The small glimmer of hope in this bleak job search is Best Buy, who called me on Wednesday to set up an interview. So I took the red line train about 30 minutes south to a part of town called the South Loop and walked over to the Best Buy for my interview. The area is really cool, just a little south of downtown, and the Sears (or Willis) Tower is surprisingly close. Anyway, I had my interview, set up a second one, and went home. Friday came around and I made my way back, finished my second interview and was told that I would get a call if I had received the position, and wouldn't get one if I hadn't. So, I'm going to wait over the weekend to see if I get the call and if I don't, the job search begins again on Monday!
