Luckily for me, I am only taking 8 credits this semester, which totals 4 classes. I am taking 6 during term C (the first 7 weeks) and 2 during the latter part of the semester. I am used to the three classes during a term, but now I find my days are more open, or so I thought. It’s January and I am still in the job search process. Instead of spending my days shopping or watching television, I am researching companies and strategically planning a job map to figure out what my best plan of action should be. This all takes time, its not easy, but its exciting all at the same time. I am not frustrated with the process (yet), because I know that every dream job opportunity takes time and I don’t know if I’ve fully given the process my full attention yet. As of January 30, I can say that I will now consider myself having another 2 credit class, titled “Arielle’s Job Search 780”. Unlike those listed on the class schedule, it doesn’t meet regularly, but it is work intensive. There is a lot of outside classroom learning, qualitative and some quantitative work, but I know it will be worth it. I hear the professors pretty good too. Okay that last part was a joke, seeing as this class is my own personal independent study. This may seem comical, but in all honesty, I have to approach the job search process like another class. I have to do the work and the due diligence if I want to see results and because I know I will see results, I am willing to put in that work. Check back with me to see how the class is going; I’m sure I will have interesting tales of success and otherwise along the way.
