7 jobs since graduating

Since graduating last year, I’ve held a total of 7 jobs! I can barely believe that but when I count it out, it’s true! Here is my list of jobs since graduating:

• Web Content Manager
• Researcher/Writer
• Office Support Staff
• Research Project Coordinator
• Stock Room Worker
• Business English Trainer
• Research Consultant

And no, it’s not because I got fired a lot! These were all contract jobs. I didn’t look for anything longer term because I knew I would be spending time in Asia with my Grandma whom I hadn’t seen for 11 years (!), and I actually intended to work there for a year. Then I went to visit Martin and found a job, which I later came back for after doing all that visa crap.

My English teaching job was fully supporting me while I was in Germany, which was kind of amazing! It really helped me not dip too much into savings (I had to because I got sick), and made spending all that time in Europe more affordable. I worked really hard though, and got much better at teaching and facilitating. Teaching English in Germany was a terrific experience for me. Now that I’m done, I miss it a little!

My plan now is to find a job!

I started searching and applying for jobs in Toronto while I was still in Germany, but then we lost the internet so I had to put my job search on hold. It was for the better – I wouldn’t have enjoyed my last few weeks as much.

My motto has always been to apply for whatever sounds interesting. I don’t expect to land a job instantly, so I was thinking of either getting a part time retail job, or learning how to sell things on eBay for the time being. I think I will choose the eBay route, because I have a bunch of things to get rid of! So hopefully I can get a job and sell a bunch of my stuff!
