In which I check out three job postiings.

This is going to be the post that I walk you and myself through this job search process. 

It's a mess, really.  So from my last post you know that I have an education in being a secretary and experience in child care. 

I looked it up.  in Google. 

"jobs secretary childcare arlington, tx"  This exact search. 

We come up with, Indeed.com, the old staple; Care.com, a nannying site; Simplyhired.com, a site with which I don't have much experience and CareerBuilder.com. 

I get to Indeed, where I start looking for a job and I think "I have to get on top of this."  A wave of panic sweeps over me.  And I balk and quickly change tabs. 

First of all.  I shouldn't get on top of it.  I should understand it.  Maybe I'm doing so good, I try to add another element, and things shake impossibly out of control. 

I click on the first ad, an Assistant Toddler Teacher.  And here's where I hit the cloud.  Do I want full time?  I have a semester left of college.  Should I apply just on faith that they will be hiring in another semester? 

Assistant Toddler Teacher Imagine Nation Learning Center - Arlington, TX

$10 an hour Must have a High School diploma or equivalent Experience working in a licensed childcare facility preferred but not required

First Job to which I applied.  Had to pull up the old generic cover letter and retype my resume.  I feel that I won't get a response back.  Mostly because of my generic cover letter.  I love it and it makes things easy, but if I were an employer, it would go in the trash.  so you never know but I have applied.

This took me to a site where there were bunches of jobs for all the companies under the children's courtyard.  I applied to a floating teacher in Arlington.  The assessment kicked my butt.  It asked you to read and analyze information quickly.  I was not prepared for that, but I think I did alrihght on the personality tests.  They were difficult too, but I have some experience.  I may apply for more tomorrow.  Tonight I'm going to see if I can get some sleep and get up in the morning.
