I Got the Job!

Yesterday I called JCPenney to check on the status of the job. She said she hadn't made a decision yet, but I let her know that I was still interested. Later that evening I got a voicemail and she put the background check through and once that is done she will start scheduling me. Sooo....I guess I have a job! I am pretty excited about this since I love taking photos and working with kids and families. Now lets just cross our fingers that I get time off for the week of Thanksgiving. Ha. By the way, this is just a seasonal job for the months before Christmas, so it will be perfect for the semester.

Harriman Horseback

Thursday night I went on a horseback trail ride with my friend Ashlee. We signed up through the University Activities program and had a blast! We rode through Harriman State Park. I got to see an elk, some swans, and we got to sit and listen to the elk bugle for a while. Such an experience! My horse's name was Paris. And on the way back it started getting dark, it was really pretty to be horseback riding in the twilight.

Wish Me Luck!

Today I applied online for a position at JCPenney Portrait Studio. Only two hours later I received a phone call and tomorrow I have an interview at 4:40! This is basically the first job I have even heard back from! So please please, please say a prayer for me and keep your fingers crossed that I do well and get the job!

Job Hunting...

...is not quite as simple as deer hunting. I would much rather be hunting deer instead of jobs right now. Ugh. I think I have filled out twenty applications, sent my resume to thirty businesses, and have received replies from zero of them. Granted I am being a little impatient since I just applied for a few of them in the last three days, but a lot were submitted weeks ago. Today, I just discovered a job for a Studio Assistant at Jason West Photography. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for me because I REALLY want this job. I would be earning $12 an hour, working about 20 hours a week, and doing what I LOVE! And this would really help me professionally because I have recently decided to minor in Photography (BYU-Idaho just made the minor program). Here is the sample of photographs I included with my resume for the position:
Anyway...classes started yesterday. So far so good. I love this school and I love my major. I am excited for what the semester holds! I will keep you posted on the job situation!
