JobHunt

I've never actually had a real job.  Aside from my venture into work study last year (which got ripped away from me :( ), the whole 'working' thing hasn't ever been apart of my life.  Yesterday, I assisted my friend Danielle at the mall while she picked up numerous applications for jobs.  Of course, she also made me grab some as well, which gave me a first glimpse into the hiring process.  Almost every store at the mall was handing out applications like they were giving out bread to homeless people.  It gave me hope, it really did.  I ventured into the Old Navy store, scared and nervous, where she eventually told me I had to apply online.  I felt brave at the next stop, however, which was at Icing.  I wouldn't essentially want to work at the Icing, but maybe I could get a discount and then receive lots of cool earrings.  I'd be really accessorized!!  That never happens!  Not that I can't or anything.  I totally could, but I have no money.  So it would totally be a win win situation.  I also went to the movie theater, and I was really excited about it, since I love the entire cinema experience.  I'd be really excited, but of course, their guidelines for applying were really strict.  I'd have to work holidays, breaks (which I can't because I get kicked out of the dorms for 6 weeks), and every single weekend since those were the days they received the most profits.  Why did that happen to me, really?  Why couldn't my dream job give me an amazing experience?  Let me reword that.  I mean my dream job for college.  I don't think my aspiration in life is to stand behind and ticket booth or smell popcorn for an entire day.
