Utter Failure

So my interview with Staples was a bust, apparently they weren't looking to hire an inexperienced, recently graduate for any positions they had available.  Well I can't say they weren't hiring, they were looking for a PC repair tech with sales skills.  I have the knowledge and background for sales and I'm somewhat familiar with the working of a PC but not enough to pass a test dealing with specifics.  If only it were that simple, I would be working immediately.  I've applied to several other places after that interview so here's hoping I get a call back from at least one of them.  I am thinking about doing some volunteer work as well just to try and get my foot in the door of a company I might want to work for.

Potential Interview! Yay!

So I got a few calls back today after shooting out multiple resume's this past week.  One of which was from Staples.  I'll be calling them to make an appointment for an interview tomorrow, hopefully I can get the position I applied for because then I can start paying off my student loans.

Resume Spamming

A lot of people that I've talked to told me to start shooting out resumes to job listings on Craigslist, I don't know if I really want to do that.  Then there were suggestions of looking at companies that actually interest me in the surrounding area.  This is not really a problem except that the companies in the surrounding area of my current location do not interest me in the slightest.  Yes this is a lot of me just complaining but when you don't know what to do, there really isn't much else to talk about.
