My Professional Objective

So I just started reading a book, The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search. So far pretty good, though it's one of those thing that when you read your like oh duh but you wouldn't have thought of it before.

The second chapter introduced the Professional Objective, so I figured I would develop mine here. First I'll define the phrase. It is what kind of work you want to do, either a particular job title or group of related jobs.

So first of all I think of my past work with sound systems and I think of a conversation I had yesterday with a recruiter. After seeing my resume she notice all my programming background, and was thinking if there was anything she had that was more programming related rather than hardware. So this leaves two possibilities sound engineering and programming.

So I have sorta decided that I want to hold off on audio related jobs and find something well paying then work my way into the audio industry slowly. So I don't know if this really is the wisest idea or not.

I need a narrower term that programming because most of what I have done is massive amounts of calculations using matrices and raw computer power. So how is MASSIVE COMPUTING USING COMPUTERS....

Here is the really issue... I don't wear the nerdy glasses for the progamming field. And I don't have enough tatoos or hair to do sound...

So today I have going for a triple threat.... what ever that means.

No I guess I have a lot to talk about and I want to split it up. I wanted to continue on my career situation. So I have a job that unless I screw up big time I will not lose it because I one of the few who will work an overnight shift alone, yay for job security. So here is the thing I have been applying like crazy to job openings. I have managed two interviews in the last 7 months. The first was at Walmart as a cashier, didn't get the job because they couldn't get a hold of enough of my references no big deal, I would probably have gotten laid off after christmas. The second was at Staples as a computer tech, still waiting to hear from them ( I can't call because there is no phone system in the new store yet....). The thing is I really want to find something anything technical in the Binghamton area, thats where my future in-laws live. One job I've found is with NYSEG as an analyst for the electrical engineering part. Lately I really have been interested in electric utility companies. But at last no word from them, but I do need to call back soon. Even if I got this job it's not my real passion, but I would still love it. Right now my goal is to get a day job that pays the bills well, and then in the evening work in some aspect with audio production. Now thats my real passion. For the past 7 years it has been a huge part of my life, now in the past 7 months I have had two gigs. 

So I keep asking when will I finally snag that great job interview? 

Currently I have a job and a future wife, so in many ways I am rich.

I love my fiancée, she supports me in so many ways. Currently she is working at the campus store of the college that we just graduated from and conducting with the orchestra on campus. She makes me so proud with what she does with music. It's quite amazing to hear and see her talk about music. I find it hard not to share in her joy. She has applied for graduate school a few different places and hopefully with be hearing back soon from them. Currently we live out in the middle of no where in my home town, she is renting an apartment out here. So far it's just not that great out here. She is separated from her family as we plan our wedding and I can not find a decent job. I work at the local gas station, from 10 pm to 6:30 am. It's sad yesterday I said that I WANT THE 9-5 JOB! Yes most of those jobs I would hate, but I want to work normal hours (which my definition of that is anything in the 9 am to 1 am range) and I want a wage that I am worth. Now that something I really struggle with lately. At times I feel like since I have earned a BA in Mathematics I should be entitled to something more than minimum wage, but then I think we should be humble and are we really entitled to anything?

So really as human beings, how much are we entitled to and how much do we have to earn through pure sweat and blood?

A start of a new day!

So a few years ago I used to write a lot online through xanga and poetry on my old website. It at most times felt like my only outlet. Towards the end of my time with xanga I think it was unhealthy for me, since I didn't talk with real people face to face. Well now my life is different! I am marring a wonderful beautiful woman in april and instead of spilling all my problems online I can talk with my future wife. Well now I have decided that I would to get back into the world of Blogging, but now I just want to inform people about how my life is going!
