government agencies and offices
nonprofits of all sorts - rain forest prevention, commissions for the arts, education/social justice/civil rights for the underprivileged, micro-finance, disease control and research centers, etc.
film studios
construction firms
news publications
museums
operas
and of course: organizations for glbt rights of all sorts. sometimes twice. i figured that my work with city hall was relevant enough to have a way into the working world here in san francisco and so far it hasn't worked. i graduated in may of 2010 and i have yet to start off my career.
and of course i am not alone.
i have since started the new year by giving up on getting that magic phone call from a career opportunity that i feel like i worked all these years for and have started applying to temp agencies, restaurants and retail stores. i am of course continuing to apply to as many jobs as possible, however i understand the severity of the global market and need to work.
thinking i would be a shoe-in for the temp jobs, i got that glimmer of hope back after each temp job submission.
this week, i received two responses from the many temp agencies i applied to:
Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have an appropriate position for you.
APPROPRIATE POSITION!?!?!?! it's temping!
the jobs we are getting are more for
administrative support folks at a level of far less responsibility than you
have already had.
i can file like a champion. how dare you.
this is a time of desperation. there are only a few lifeboats remaining and there isn't enough room for everyone here on this sinking ship.
i have made continuous contributions to the city through my work with both city hall and the community center. in fact, im still doing it!
time is short, san francisco. it's your choice.
