Resume?! Cover Letter?!

So these past couple of days my mother has been hounding me to apply for jobs. As irritating as it is sometimes, I know it's for the greater good. She always knows what best for me. Except when she wanted me to wear those plaid pants and a polka dot shirt. Greater good? Not so much. I love her to bits and pieces none the less.

I'm sure there's a couple hyphens in there. Hmmm.

So I come home this morning, moderately slept it away, and started working on my resume and cover letter for a specific job. As I was putting on the finishing touches, I got an email from and old school teacher of mine. It's funny, because my 11th grade year, in his class, one of his friends who was an insurance agent came in to teach us about insurance. Super fun right? Not so much. I spend the whole classes period taping my eyes open with my good friend Andy who I really think I need to get in touch with before his mission.... ANYways, he said he was also looking for callers for his company and I thought, "What the heck. I've never had a job, how bad can it be?" I ended up getting the job and being really good at it. I was at the job for about a year before I was let go due to scheduling reasons... but that's not the point.
The point is, said teacher of mine emailed me today telling me his wife is starting her own insurance company and wants me to be their main caller.

HOLLA.

Without even turning in a resume and thanks to networking, I landed a job at a calling center. Something I know I'm good at, and hours that will work with my school schedule once I start college. I go in tomorrow for training and I should be starting either the next day or the next week.

In the end, Mom was right. I worked and slaved to make my resume and cover letter sound, and I got a job. Maybe Mom always is right. I love her.

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow as well. An hour before my interview, but I'll make it. My only problem when I get my hair cut is it has to be drastic or I feel like I've wasted my money. It'll be great though. My good friend Book is doing it, and she's done it before so I trust she'll do a good job.

Didn't get to see Mitch today, but I like him none the less. :)

That's all for today. Good night world.
