My J-O-B Search!

I started searching the paper and web for job listings several months ago. And, NO I haven't given up on jennifersmells.com what-so-ever! That is actually doing just fine and dandy but until I can sell a product an hour, 25-30 hours a week, I need to do something else, too!
I actually find this job hunting somewhat fun and educational. There are so many interesting jobs that I never even thougt about doing and many that I don't have the qualifications for! I just want a FUN job or something that I genuinely enjoy doing! I know we all feel that way, right? The closest job that I could find that might be considered "fun" was working at Toys R Us! (and that is a big MIGHT!)

What I am truly good at doesn't necessarily make me pop on a resume. Not that I even HAVE a resume! I just send along a nice letter explaining who I am, that I am a wife and mother, that I worked at Filene's for 19 years, that I run a small business, that I am a wanna-be writer and that I make party favors for a shop downtown. Wow wee! Riveting! Who wouldn't want to hire me??? (Okay, okay I will make a resume'!)

Seriously I do not have BA or degree in anything! All I have is BS! (Well, I thought it was funny!) So here I am 41 years old. Yup, I said it!
I am great at promoting people, places and things. I can throw an awesome party,make gift baskets, cater a small luncheon or event, do fantastic dispays, I love to do stock work(no idea why!) and I can make you feel and smell marvelous. I don't mind cleaning (anyone's house but my own, that is!)I am very detail oriented. I follow directions,I can write a book (yes, they are all unpublished right now. What's your point?) I would make a great personal assistant. Really, I would! I can tell by the look on your face weather or not you need a bottle of water, a cup of coffee, a glass of cabernet or a dirty martini! I swear!

I find myself thinking, lately, If I had only gone to hair doo school, or to college, this fun job hunting task would be far less painful! Then I found this real, live, fun job advertisement today: (Really, it's in the Maine Sunday Telegram!) Oh, don't let your kids see this! We might have lots of run-a-ways on our hands!

Start Immediately! TRAVELING CARNIVAL-travel entire east coast. Year round. Must be drug free. Live-in quarters provided.

You can't get much more fun than making cotton candy and selling sno-cones during the day and kickin' back having a beer outside your camper with the tallest man on earth and a lady with two heads!
Okay, maybe that is TOO much fun! Besides I know how much you all would miss me! So for the sake of all of YOU I didn't apply. Now, since I did you a favor please do one for me! Keep your eyes and ears open for someone looking for a friendly, creative, dedicated, merchandiser, party planner, party favor creator, gift basket maker, wanna be writer, personal assistant, or perfume maker would you? My lines are open! ;)

(What? I may be jobless forever,you say?)

Best of luck to all of you in the job search, too! When I see a good job posting I share it with whoever I think it might fit! So if you are looking tell me what you are looking for and I will help to the best of my ability! My advice is to keep your sense of humor and have faith!
