It's been two months that I've been back from Germany now and I finally finished my epic term paper for Professor Daufenbach's class so I have officially graduated college. WOOOOOO!
Now what?
Well, I've been working 35-45 hours/week at Perkin's (always dramatic and entertaining, though stressful) and working on a resume to get started with the job search. Writing a resume for the first job hunt is an experience many people go through, well most people really... but it's not a fun one. You realize that everything you spent every waking minute on in the last 5-10 years of college and beyond has to be translated to the page as a talent, skill, or other "activity" to fit in. Sure, Root Beer Pong for the Social Committee in Smith Hall was fun, but is being the undisputed champ there of *really* a resume worthy talent?
My dad would probably say not. So I didn't even ask.
My resume looks nice to me, I feel impressed with myself and everything I've done. It's my companion from here on out and my weapon for the job hunt, to catch any perspective employer's attention and reel them in while I convince them to give a 23 year old college graduate with no "real world" experience a job. Then again, what is the real world? I'm not marching up to a lion with a Swiss Army Knife and hoping for the best here; I've prepared myself through my summers off, my spring breaks, my semester abroad. I'm responsible, reliable, motivated.
Nothing should be stopping me.
Except maybe facebook and the new season of House. They make for good distractions.
I'll be starting to applying and (hopefully) interviewing process soon. Stay tuned.
