Progress is slow but steady...

So what has happened and where the HECK have I been for the past two months?


Well...


I took and passed State Boards and I am licensed now. Trying to find a job for these past two months has proven to be the BIGGER challenge. I have papered my half of the hemisphere with my resume, went on job interview after job interview and I am STILL looking for a job. I've had SEVERAL really great interviews this week, and a few callbacks to go on over the next two days, so we'll see what becomes of things.


I am truly blessed because one of my interviewers gave me a few tips and pointers and is challenging me to practice my craft 3 hours a day. There is a certain way to hold a comb and a pair of shears that she showed me, and because of it my cuts have been better and I have been going through them FASTER! (Speed and Accuracy are my two biggest pitfalls right now.) I have a cut to do at that salon on Saturday morning, and at another salon tomorrow (well, later today really, now that I look at the time.) 


I talked with another friend who's looking for a job, and he too is having problems getting a job. YEA! IT'S NOT JUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! He asked me if I was just looking in my field (Cosmetology) or if I was looking at other places. I LOL'd and told him I was applying everywhere I thought I would have a chance of getting a job. I JUST signed up with monster.com for this reason. Though I was surprised to find that they have Cosmetology jobs on Monster!


I am trying to stay positive and figure out creative things to do with my free time. I'm trying to find places to volunteer. Any suggestions/advice is GREATLY appreciated.


And...I'm spent.


More soon.
