The dreaded interview

Well, as one could imagine, the quasi-judicial office I was working in said my term was up. You have no idea how happily I skipped from the office that Friday. Since then, I've been sending out as many resumes as my little internet connection can muster. The problem? I have actually begun to apply for jobs that are entirely outside my personal moral code (i.e., oil & gas). I have two interviews suddenly. One in a dreaded oil & gas/pave the earth sort of company and the other in an entrepreneurial creative company. The one in the o&g is actually in my field/interest area: Employee Development Coordinator. The creative one: Administrative Assistant.

I genuinely think that having a graduate degree and too much experience in university is a hindrance. So kids, the bottom line is: forget getting that graduate degree. Go out there and start at the bottom... that's where I am, even with years of experience. They don't like to pay you too much, which is the real deal.
