And so it begins.. or continues I guess. I was laid off, so I went back to school to become a Pharmacy Tech. School is done. Completed my externship hours. Finally have my license and PTCB certification. Now comes the most tedious and treacherous part - finding a great job. I started playing super-recruiter for myself last week, updating my resume and applying to various different places (with the help from the ever-so-awesome Nina from Career Services at school). I have my sights on a possible job at an LA County facility... I'm taking a competency exam they need you to pass to work for them on Friday. Tomorrow I head to school to get my CPR card, diploma, and a transcript.. so I can send in an another application to work for the Veteran's Affairs Dept. My focus is primarily on these 2 possibilities because they are government jobs and offer great pay, benefits, vacation time, and sick leave.. no working on holidays either!
My unemployment has run out (because the government has decided not to allow another deadline extension), so something REALLY has to give in the next few weeks.
