Welcome October

Ok, where did September go? That month always flies by probably because it is such a busy time of the year. The cold weather is coming and Winter lasts a long time!
 
I began my search for part time jobs. No luck yet landing anything. The two jobs that I figured I 'd be working in by now just have not happened! And it's mostly due to human error and forgetfulness. I took a training class to become a driving instructor so I could teach driver education and take on private lessons as well. That training was in August. Now its October and the company still has not gotten my certification from the DMV. I'm not sure what happened, but it had something to do with the test I'd taken. The DMV said there was something wrong with how I'd written down the answers so they sent the test back. I had to redo that paperwork. Since I'm not certified yet I missed the boat on having my own classes and the opportunity to get a bonus if I had 100% attendence. When I do get the certification I will only be able to substitute for classes when they are available. My pay per class will be $18.00.

The other job is to be a teaching assistant at a preschool. The Director keeps forgetting to send me the paperwork to fill out so that I can start. I've emailed and left phone messages for her....for one week. It's unfortunate that people who are working forget that you aren't and you are left waiting and wondering about your future with them. It also makes me worry about how effective these companies and Directors are.

A few weeks ago I submitted my resume to a few jobs that needed to be filled ASAP. Haven't heard from them. Do these online jobs really exist? Applying to more jobs today.
