New Orleans Here I
Come...
As I write this, I am sitting at the airport waiting for my
plane to New Orleans. In a couple of hours, I will be at TPE and NASPA. The
first few days I will be in NOLA, I will be at TPE then I am staying for the
actual conference as well.
When I registered for TPE, I started to receive interview
requests for jobs not in my ideal location. Against my supervisor’s
suggestions, I denied them all. Because of that, I only have one interview set
up for TPE at the moment. I know that they say you’ll get more once you get
there but it would have been nice to have maybe 2 or 3 set up ahead of time. It
would have given me time to prep and to make sure I knew enough about the
institution.
Since I am very location restricted, there weren’t too many
jobs available in the area I am looking for.
Plus, the jobs that they did have in the area were mostly res life or
something else that wasn’t in one of the areas I was looking for. I’m hoping
that while I’m down there, I find other jobs that I could possibly apply for.
On another note, I made plans to move down with my partner
the day after graduation. He got his one way flight for the weekend of
graduation and then we are driving down to the DC area the day after. Since I
decided to only search in that area (MD, VA & DC), I thought it would be
easier to be living in the area than job searching from 6 hours away. I’ve found a few more jobs that I am thinking
of applying to in the area and will be once I get settled in NOLA.
Other than that, there isn’t too much to report. It’s been
kind of slow for the job searching so I’m hoping it will pick up soon.
Once, I get settled into TPE and
make it through the experience, I’ll report in and let you know how it all
went!
Graduation Countdown= 59 Days
