While I'm Job Hunting....

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope you are all doing well!  

I have been looking for a job since I received my bachelors degree in nutrition science and so far haven't had any luck...  And I think I'm starting to go backwards in my job searching.

Let me explain.  When I first started looking I was pretty much trying to find anything I can so I can get some experience in.  That's normal, right?  I also took up making sure to blog more often including making a Facebook page for the blog and a Twitter account and asked for volunteers for those wanting to lose weight and get healthier.  Oh! And I started a YouTube account!  Well, there weren't really many job openings for someone who is just out of college, lives in the area I live in, and who only has a bachelor's degree compared to being a registered dietitian.  All jobs seem to require a registered dietitian!  It's making life tough.

Well anyway...as I have been searching I ended up starting to get more picky.  I don't want just any job.  Sure I need the experience, but I want to be happy where I work at.  Plus, it's hard to try to tell people what is healthy (like milk and what not) when I don't believe in telling people it's safe to eat those products.  How can I do that?  I only want to tell people about how they shouldn't be eating animal products and to eat more fruits and veggies!  So I started looking at vegan jobs.  There are probably less of those.  In a way there are many!  However, there aren't any where I live.  Which is another reason why I wanted to make sure to focus on my blog more and volunteers.  

It's tough being vegan.  Can anyone else relate?  

Oh, but I wanted to mention how I found an article about how at PCRM they have a vegan friendly office environment.  How cool would that be?  Who has worked at an office?  I have.  And I remember people microwaving fish, stinking up the whole office area... Not to mention the potlucks.  I love potlucks, but when people only bring junk food, it's not that great.  There's just those little things that add up.  If it was a vegan environment, I would be in heaven!  It just seems like it would be so much more fun!  And to be able to work with people who are like-minded would be amazing.  Something I strive for. 

I know that eventually I will get the job that I dream of.  Problem is, I need to start making money very very soon.  The sooner the better of course.  I'll get there!  Just have to keep on keeping on.

Do you have any horror stories from a job?  One time a woman gave me a fish head in my lunch... So incredibly rude.  I wasn't even vegan then yet.  And I was pregnant... 

Have a great day everyone!
