catapult!

Well, folks, I have officially launched myself into the murky sea of the career seeking world.  HIIIYAAAAHHH?  Lordy, it took me a good amount of time to locate and dust off my old resume, at which point I threw it away and started from scratch.  I am pretty sure that no hospital cares that I used to work as a server in downtown Minneapolis and that I perfected my ability to 86' people who were too drunk to order coherently and/or hold their body in an upright and standing position.  I know, it's pretty impressive, but I am moving on to a new crowd.

Resume and clinical summary were slowly, painstakingly completed, and compared to various classmates versions, and reviewed by my school's career specialist, and re-completed....and eventually I AM READY.  The interwebs tell me that the best day and time to apply for a job is mid morning on Mondays.  Ta-da!  So guess what I've been up to today?! 

Mmmhmm.  I have papered southern Maine with all of my carefully-massaged-into-professional-wordings-word-documents, and I'm going broad.  Urgent care, emergency medicine, inpatient cardiology, walk-in clinic, outpatient pediatrics and even one position at a correctional facility.  Look how good I am showcasing my flexible, go-get-em, team player, upbeat shiny, happy and totally employable attitude!


And also, I am knitting, and pretending that because I've applied to places, that I no longer need to beat myself down with incessant studying. 

Oh who am I kidding.  We all know I've got three other tabs open in my browser to various studying materials.  Luckily I have granted myself the luxury of knitting whilst watching lecture videos.  Best of both worlds?
