Summer Plans (part 2)

So, it's 11 June, and I have not yet found a job. This is true despite my best efforts. Just for fun, I thought I'd list the jobs I've applied for for this summer (at least those I've archived/that I can remember):

1. Teaching English at a Chinese school - had interview in April, haven't heard back since May
2. Research Assistant for my Supervisor - he didn't get approved for funding
3. Data Entry Payroll
4. Another Data Entry job
5. Shipping-Recieving Clerk - I was called in May, but didn't show to the interview because it was too far, and I thought I would get another job (silly me!)
6. English Tutor x 2
8. Game testing (that woulda been fun!)
9. Guest Service Agent @ McGill Rez
10. Guide @ St. Michael's Church
11. "Intervenant en employabilité d'été"
12. Interviewer (surveys, etc.)
13. Junior Administrative Assistant
14. Mover - McGill Childcare Centre
15. Summer Activities Coordinator - I was e-mailed by them, but not since last week
16. Another Research Assistant position
17. Lingo Canada - I was called back, interview never was scheduled (mostly only had fall work)
18. Food services @ Bell Centre
19. Assistant Cook at Dude Ranch- the guy told me to try out for next year (this is the one in Wyoming)
20. Photocopier Job @ McGill Library -no summer work available, but seems likely that i could work part time during school year
21. Downtown Delivery Person - Had interview last week
22. Carpet Cleaning helper
23. Summer Camp Counselor with South Asian Womens Community - had interview last night, but I was told I was "unfit" for the job
24. Ultimate Frisbee Coordinator
25. Breakfest cook
26. Work with an NGO called CCR - dont remember exactly what they were, but something to do with cultural communities
27. Assistant cook - hotel de la montagne
28. Car washer - I think I was called back about this job, but the conversation was half in French and half in English, and was kidna confusing
29. Another car washer job
30. La Ronde - generic
31. Old Montreal - generic
32. Some job at le Saint Sulpice ( I don't even remember anymore)
33. Another NGO called CHRF
34. yet another NGO
35. Bingo Announcer - I was called back for this, but no interview scheduled
36. Waiter @ Amelio's Restaurant - Nithum and Sulin convinced me to apply for this one


This is all that I can remember... I guess I still haven't beat my 2006 mark of 51, but I'm quickly losing time and motivation.

My plan is to keep on trucking for just a few more days, then if nothing hits, go back to NJ for 1-2 weeks in late June/early July, take a course for July, then volunteer somewhere for August... I'm thinking of helping out the Katrina relief effort in Louisiana.

That's where I stand- I shall keep you all updated!

Are you sure you still don't want me to get you a job at Kaplan?
