Today I went to an All Women job fair at Navy Pier. I always get a little nervous about these things but I figured I have nothing to loose. There was a long line to get in and once I was in I was very very disappointed. It was so terrible...let's see who was there.. Wal-Mart or Meijer anyone? How about selling tuber ware or jewelry by having house parties...oh I know you could be a cosmetic rep for a makeup company! Kind of ridiculous. (not that there is something wrong with those careers- I was just frustrated with the lack of diversity. They just assumed that there wouldn’t be anyone interested in the sciences) I am never going to an all women career fair again. The good thing was that they had free resume critiquing and the lady was very helpful. Another bonus was I got alot of free lotions and make-up.
Now, then I get home and I am like, I think I will join the Church's Gospel Choir (without fully thinking about the fact that I don't know how to sing). I figured that it wouldn't be a problem because there would be plenty of people so what is one out of key voice. However, only 7 people showed up! It was fun though. Everyone was so nice and at the end they had a time of prayer and I asked for pray for God’s guidance in my job search and it turned out that 4 of the 7 had been unemployed and recently got a job…so they joked around that coming to Choir practice was the ticket to getting a job : )
