Help! I need a job!

| | Comments (1)

I need a job. I'm not totally desperate yet, but I'm moving that way. My student loans will only support me through May, possibly June, but after that money runs out I'll need another source of income besides my parents.


I keep reading the classifieds, but maybe I'm the one who should take out an ad.
It's weird, I'm not even looking for a full-time career for post-graduation, yet I feel like I'm in the same boat as everyone else who doesn't know what they're doing yet. I know this much: I'm going to law school…somewhere, and it costs a lot of money to get through three years of higher education.

So, back to the job issue. I need a summer job, but I've heard it's next to impossible to find a job in Lawrence over the summer. And in all honesty, who wants to hire a recent graduate that is only going to be in town for June and July?

Here's why you should hire the college graduate: we've survived four or five years of school and have more experience than some 18-year-old freshman who just moved to Lawrence.

Plus, I just spent four years of my life working in a fast-paced environment where things were constantly changing. I've had internships and been on business trips, and somehow managed to balance school on top of these.
I'm organized, somewhat of a perfectionist, and love to delegate (when necessary). If you tell me to do something, I'll follow through on it until it's done. I learn things on the fly and adapt to changing situations very easily.

I know that there are plenty of people who want a job this summer that will be able to stay on through the next school year, but don't tell me that you won't hire me because I just graduated. So what if I'll only be around for two months? I guarantee you that my two months would be 100 times better than most other people.

Courtney, I think I know how KU Journalism found out about your employment needs. You're ehub post is, and probably was, featured in the upper left-hand corner of the Web site! (If only getting a *real* job were that easy!)
