Crazy Month!


It's been a month since I've posted! YIKES! I guess life really catches up on you....School has started so I've been a lot busier. I am also busy getting ready to graduate and find a "real" job. This last weekend I tried to "perfect" my resume and sent it out. I have contacted two different businesses that I have found on the internet this past summer. There is a non-profit group in Detroit Lakes, MN that works to help low-income families and elderly. I would love to work in their family development department, and especially wouldn't mind working with children!! There is also another non-profit group in St. Cloud, MN that helps provide housing assistance to low to moderate income families. Neither of these organizations are currently hiring, but after contacting both, I was told to send my resume in anyways. So that's what I did this last weekend! I also found two job openings that I submitted my resume to. The first is for a non-profit in Crookston, MN (which is about 20 minutes from Grand Forks). This job is for a Head Start Director. When I found this job I thought it would be so perfect for me! I've always gone back and forth on the idea of becomming an elementary school teacher so I could work with children, and by finding a job like this I could still work with kids! The other job I applied for is in Mankato, MN....a little further than I was looking, but what the heck?! It sounds like a great position with the City of Mankato for a Housing Assistant. This is just the first round of resumes...I think that I want to send out as many resumes as I can to see what kind of a response that I can get!

School is also getting really busy, but I am almost done! I am taking five classes, and I have two large papers I need to write for graduation. But the key word there is graduation...93 days until graduation! What sweet words!!
