But I got it done, my resume that is. I finished it today. Tommorrow I am sending it out with job applications online to a few retail stores at our local mall. I only want to work part-time and then see how I go from there.
Wish me luck because I am going to need it. I've done the first part, now all I need is to wait and see when and if I receive an interview/s and then take it from there.
Thanks to my friends for your support and encouragement. It has helped me tremendously :) Let the games begin LOL :)

Congratulations!!!! I am very proud of you. I am happy that you were able to overcome your fears and finish your resume. I am sad that you will be spending less time on Mylot, I will miss you. I guess you could say that it is all so bitter sweet. I just don't know what I will do. Booooooo, LOL, you go girl. [Rozie37]
hahahaha you just watch me! LOL [maddysmommy]
Hi!! Well , GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope all turns out well, and you find something you like to do. Take care. [Margajoe]
Your welcome. But it was not three jobs, LOL! It was three shifts. One week dayshift, one week evening shift and one week night shift. Of course I had days when I did not go on the computer. But, now that I am at home, I have that some days too. So for me there is not really a difference. And did you hear anything yet? Take care. [Margajoe]
Well I do wish you goodluck, I hope you pass the interview and get the job. You're right about the "first part" thing, as the rest will be up to you!;) Part-time or not, the best thing is you get paid for money and earn money for the holiday seasosns!;) [raijin]
Yup something to look forward to alright, extra pocket money and savings :) thanks for your positive comments raijin, much appreciated! [maddysmommy]
Hi Sweetie! I wish you much luck! Glad you got it done, I knew you could do it! And I'm sure you will get interviews. And you're welcome :)Let me know how you turn out. Take care :) [Heavensent53]
Hugs, Hey there Heavensent :) I am happy that I had finally redone it and hopefully its enough to get me something part time. Now its a waiting game until I get an interview. That's the second scariest part of this process and I better start preparing for it just incase I get called up for one soon. Thanks again for all your support and will let you know what happens :):) [maddysmommy]
At least you get to finish it, maddysmommy! I started writing my resume years ago and never get to complete it. lol. Congrats. I am sure it would come in handy in future especially if it is tailored to support the job you are applying for. Good Luck. [whyaskq]
Have faith and when it is appropriate, you will hear something. And yes, I will be dropping by when I am not tight up with datelines. Take care. [whyaskq]

If you like to earn as part time then go to my profile and visit my blog. Their are two ways to earn, first by applying as a freelance, and bid for project. It won't cost you a thing. The second one is just by answering questions, yes they pay when you answer a question for them. The price per question is $5 - $20. It all depends on your area of expertise. It you want to be professional, just go on over to the search box, which is posted on my blog. Then apply to be one [AzraelValley]
Thank you Azrael but I am not sure whether I will have time to do anything else online other than mylot and my survey sites I belong to. As of Saturday I start my new temporary part time job for the holidays :) [maddysmommy]
Goodluck to your first resume, i hope that this is your goodluck resume, because lot of people try many times before they got what they want to do in their life. Why did you choose to have part time job? [annettenasser]
Hi anettenasser. I chose to work part time just to keep me busy now that my son is in school. Working over the holidays is all I want to do right now. I have never worked in retail before so this will be my first time working in that field and even though it can be demanding, i am looking forward to starting my job this afternoon. I had a full day training yesterday and it was a lot to take in so fingers crossed it goes ok today. [maddysmommy]
I wish you the best. At this time of year, jobs are plentiful with the coming Holiday season and all the help that is needed. Keep your eye on the prize and things will work out for you. Wishing you nothing but the absolute best. Peace. [Savvynlady]
Thank you very much Savvynlady for your support. I had my first day of training yesterday and I was exhausted after it LOL my first day of actually working on the floor starts this afternoon - lets hope I remember most of what I learnt yesterday :) thanks again. [maddysmommy]
Too bad you are not in Canada we have hundreds of part time jobs .How do i know because every time i go out i see the sign on the window for HIRING NOW I am talking about Best Buy,Wal- Mart,Canadian Tire,Tim Hortons,Macdonalds etc etc Now mind you these are menial jobs with minimum pay but i presume you already know any part time job at a retail store will pay little Also with Christmas approaching lots of stores take on extra help I will bet since this post is 4 weeks old you already have a job..maddy by the way is my wife's nickname for Madeline Thanks for posting [Cancer2005]
