I’ve been trying my luck at job hunting lately but with little avail. My main problem so far is a lack of valid ID. I need a copy of my birth certificate because my passport photo is so drastically different from how I look now that I can’t use it as a valid ID while job hunting (Got me through three international airports though.) and I won’t be able to afford a copy of that until next week. I also need references, and finding teachers from my era that are still in the area is like pulling teeth. But, with any luck, I should have that done with on Monday. I also need to get my US diploma converted to the GCSE equivalent, and that’s gonna set me back around £55, and I only get £99.27 every two weeks and that has to cover rent and transportation. @.@
So far I’ve been able to apply for three jobs, soon to be four tomorrow. Once I have references I’ll be able to apply for a hell of a lot more online. I’m also planning on getting training for minor qualifications (Food Safety Certificate, CPR training and Management courses) to help boost my CV. It’s a bunch of crap I already know, but it counts for shit if you lack the authorised certification.
I went to the doctors on Wednesday for a check-up. Since they lost my records, we had to start a new one. They took my height, weight and blood pressure. (6ft 66.4Kg and relatively good~) and this Thursday they’re gonna do a blood test to determine my cholesterol levels and such. I also have an eye exam the same day, roughly an hour later. Should be fun~
Since I’m broke, I’ll likely spend my Halloween inside, playing Left4Dead 2. How about you~?
Yoji~
