So I've been looking for a job for like 6 months. I graduated college with a BA in English and there is NOTHING out there. So after searching for jobs that could get me experience, applying to them, and getting no responses, I've lowered my search to retail and sales jobs. I need money now so at this point I'll just take whatever job. I applied to sell cars at Volvo because I thought it would be fun, and I kind of just applied to apply, but they called me back that night, haha. Then I applied to work full-time at Nordstrom and I called them today and I have an interview tomorrow. The marketing, administrative, customer service, etc. jobs I applied to (which have been quite a few), haven't gotten back to me, so I figured, "Hey, I'm only going to be in Richmond for 5 more months, I might as well just get a job for now and still look for a real one."
This wasn't exactly my plan and I would really love to have a "real" job in a field that corresponds to my major, but at this point, I'm going to take whatever I can because it's money. Plus, if I get a job at Nordstrom I get a great discount on all the merchandise
So I don't have a job yet but an interview is the next step, and I haven't had one of those yet, so I'm still excited.
