Confusion

Hmmm, pretty interesting reading through this blog of mine.

Can’t find an accounting job so I go decide I want to work at Guitar Center, I get a job at Guitar Center and realize I want an accounting job.
Don’t get me wrong, Guitar Center is a cool place to work. However, not a cool place to get paid. I am realizing I will not be able to pay my bills working at Guitar Center.

So, off to H&R Block I go. I went there the other day. It all seemed too easy. I went in, introduced myself, and they said ok. It didn’t appear that any that there will be any problems in me working there this tax season. I will have to take one class, the software update was recommended.

I know this is a temporary solution, however, it will get me by. I don’t think Guitar Center is going to be enough to get me by.

In other news, I have started doing some accounting for my Dad’s dealership. It has really helped my confidence. I bought a book on Quickbooks, and have been going through it little by little. Now that I have a real life example its pretty cool to realize I can do this accounting thing. I am realizing it’s a fear of the unknown, now that I have broken through to a small taste of “real accounting” its really nothing to be afraid of. Hopefully, after tax season, 6 months of bookkeeping experience on the resume will put me over the hump to get a job.

In the mean time, I am still applying for jobs online. It just seems so helpless. I have not been getting any responses like I did in the past. No emails, no phone calls. Who knows.

    Have you tried following up with the places that you've sent your resume to? Sometimes sending an e-mail or a phone call a couple of weeks later will let them know you are interested in working for them and it can put your mind at ease.
