Had a damn good job interview today and now I’m back at home chilling out watching Scrubs and drinking tea. So exhausted. Went to bed at 12:30am, which is early for me, hoping to get a good night’s rest, and kept tossing and turning until past 5am. Ugh.

This is pretty good but not amazing or unique. The dry leaf and taste are very heavy on the cinnamon, like cinnamon heart candies. And the almond is trailing close behind and seems rather astringent too, almost like almond extract. These two notes are so strong that it’s almost too difficult to even tell which one you’re smelling/tasting since it’s an ongoing battle between the two. It reminds me a lot of holiday spice candles, or the smell of craft/Michaels stores, you know?

Woo! Yay for the damn good job interview! Here’s hoping you get the job. :)

Thanks! It’s only a 3-month temp position, but better than nothing, and would be a sweet experience so we’ll see.

YAY! i will cross my fingers for you!

OMGsrsly

I’m temping right now! Nothing to sneeze at. :)

Good luck!

Fjellrev

Thanks, I’m seriously going to need it since the hunt has been brutal!

OMG, it’s definitely good stuff, but it’ll be so annoying to have to do this all over again in a few months. What can you do, though!

OMGsrsly

Make sure you get a written letter of recommendation before you leave. Haha. That’s the biggest tip I got. Written letters from previous jobs.

Fjellrev

Yeah, good point. I luckily got one from one of the profs I TA’d for so that’s something. But I was wondering if a person were to work somewhere for three months, if that would be long enough to justify asking for a reference in general.

OMGsrsly

Yes! I was actually looking up recommendations for temp employment on resumes and the like, and apparently 2 weeks is a “long time” if you’re working for a temp agency. So it’s recommended that you make it a line item on your resume, as in, “Office Administration for ABC Corp, 2 weeks, June 2015” underneath the temp agency header. And asking for a reference is always OK IMO. Especially if they really like you.

Fjellrev

Interesting! Here I was thinking it wouldn’t be long enough. Technically, this isn’t through/for a temp agency, but it’s nice to know that employers recommend any kind of temporary work as legitimate experience no matter the length of time, really.
