I got my first unemployment check on Friday! It's a pretty decent amount, given the salary I had at my last job, so it'll keep me housed and fed for a while. I'm still looking at jobs, but I'm focusing my efforts on turning my internship into a real, paid gig.
In other news, I've started another blog: One Nerdy Thing. It's a bunch of musings on a range of nerdy topics (politics, literature, geography, etc.). Check it out, please!

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the Foreign Service. They terminated my friend Jason's application after the interview without telling him why. It's frustrating -- I think he'd be great abroad! As would you. :)
There's a fabulous book called "Delaying the Real World" that I recommend to everyone. It's got great tips for twentysomething job hunters looking for adventure. I followed its' advice and ended up taking high school students to Morocco. It was way cool.
Have you thought about the Peace Corps? PC alums get a bump when applying for govt jobs. So if public service is something you're thinking about, the Peace Corps may be a good first step. :)
Good luck.
