The Red Riding Hood Saga-Job hunting

So who knew that going back to Jamaica in four months time was going to be a hindrance to finding a job for the summer...I didn't expect it to be such the hassle.

I decided  that the quickest way for me to find a job, as I desperately don't want to go back to the job I had before I left for school ( it was one of those dead end jobs that you can literally see your soul being sucked out of you - plus the situation in that workplace was no where near satisfactory for the employees), was to sign on with an employment agency.

After all what better way to find a job than to have people who make a living looking for jobs help you?

Welcome to Skye Theater- playing to night the family classic- Red Riding Hood...

So as the story goes Red Riding Hood (me) sets off to find Grandma's House (job) along the way she sees the woodsman (employment agency) who points here in the right direction...sadly he neglects to issue any warning about the Big Bad Wolf ( my four month expiry date). Lil Red Riding Hood sets on her merry way laughing and singing and finally finds Grandma's House after following the Woodsman's directions.

'Oh Grandma (potential employer) what a great opportunity you are offering' says Red Riding Hood
'All the better for you my dear' Says Grandma
'Well Grandma i'll stay and work for you until September where I have to fly off to a foreign land to study up on how better to service you" Says Red Riding Hood
'Oh no!, you can't do that I need someone who will work for me long term not just until the Big Bad Wolf comes' Says Grandma.

And well...you can guess how that story ended.

 Grandma says leave your application, and secretly you feel her plotting to stay far away from the Big Bad Wolf....

Well Red Riding Hood continues her quest for a job before she succumbs and runs back home (or in the real life version of this story ...the soul sucking job)

Through all this though I falter and lose the positive outlook sometimes, I feel everything will work out and if you ever find your self in a position where the world seems stacked against you, find the person you can confide in (for me its my Handsome) vent it out and then go smiling back into the world.

Here's to positive people!
