Good news, Interview!

Job search is working!

I had put in an application for a bank some weeks ago. Now they have called me for a phone interview. The bank is in my city, so there would be no commute. And to top it off I love working for banks, it’s the right amount of customer service. And I love dealing with customers.

So hopefully I can nail the interview. This would be a prefect start for me and I will take advantage of it.

So good luck to me and anyone else going on an interview.

Job application woes

job application

So on my job search “job”. My days start early. Trying my best to get a one up on the competition. I receive a lot of email alerts from different job sites, like Kaiser Permanente. As soon as I get them I put my application in. I almost feel crazy submitting resume after resume. Never getting any responses or call backs. Well not to be a liar like that, I do get those automated responses saying the company I applied for has received my resume. It goes something like this.

So on a daily, I will get a couple of the above confirmations in my inbox. Somewhere in those lines and words common to all who apply is a hope that I will be picked for the job, in which, I have given my time and effort too. Filling out job applications, day after day can be tedious, time consuming, overwhelming,  but I do it. Knowing that my continuing worthiness will lead to booming opportunities.

So I wonder if getting tips on how to improve my application will work. There are many help site on applications, giving you tips on how to better your application for a call back. Job Scribble has a few tips, there are more to be found all around the net. At this point trying anything to better my chances sounds good.
