Job Update

[eastofthemoon]

Here's an update on the job front.

I went back to the daycare where I did my on-the-job training to ask if there was any chance they would be needing more staff.

Unfortunately, as much as the director would love to have me, they don't need any more staff as far as she can tell. However, she did say she would keep me on file in case something turns up.

I have to say I'm not surprised. I had a feeling the daycare didn't need anymore staff, but it's fine since the director said I can use her as a reference for my resume.

So, I sent out resumes to two other day cars and I also signed up on the teacher assistant casual list. It's early in the year, so it will probably be a good couple of weeks before some of the day cares realize that they need more staff. So, for the next couple of weeks, all I can do is wait.

In case it takes a couple of months before a day care/teacher assistant job pops up, my backup plan is to just do retail for a bit until a good job at a day care pops up.

In crafting news, I'm attempting to make a strawberry tart with my felt. The strawberries are turning out cute. I also bought some plain white masks today, so I can try my hand and experiment a bit at mask making. Not sure how well the masks will turn out, but I should at least give it a try.

Or ... *winkwinknudgenudge* What about doing commissions and selling some crafts?

*nods* I have thought of it, although I think I still want to give myself a bit more practice before I try to sell things, but that's me.

I have thought that if I decide to do commissions that I would probably sell them online, although I still haven't figured out how exactly to do that. (I'm not sure how many people locally would actually buy felt cakes.) How about you?

Same goes completely. Practice is awesome - I'm noticing the more that I do that the better I'm getting at things such as stitching, etc. I was thinking maybe Etsy? Or commissions through DA? Maybe put some feelers out about it? *wanders over to query on my DA account*

I was thinking about using my deviantart account too. There are some options we need to explore. ^_~

I think you're right -- you'll probably be able to get in soon once the day cares realize they need more people. Never give up hope, right? :D Good luck on the job front!

i wish you luck on your job hunt.
ooooh~ mask making! that sounds extremely fun!
was it inspired from that slayers masquerade fanart?

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Yes it was. XD It actually started with a sketch I did with Amelia and Zelgadis with masquerade masks (I may finished that drawing at some point.) I had so much fun designing masks for them, I decided to redraw it so it included the rest of the Slayers. Here's hoping the masks will turn out well. ^_^;
