Ever since I was sent over to the plant that is closing, I have been applying for jobs that interest me. Mainly, I am applying for an administrative assistant type job. I did this prior to working at Motorola, and that made me happy. It is frustrating because I never hear responses
A lot of place now a days want you to send your resume via email or fax, which is what I do. I write to them telling them that I am interested in the position, where I found it, my computer skills, and why I think I am a good candidate. I also attach my resume for them to review it. Yes, I know that I have worked at Motorola in a production environment for 4 years, and no, I haven't really worked as an admin. assistant, but I have the skills that are necessary: typing skills, data entry, blah, blah, blah. I honestly think that when someone looks at my resume & sees Motorola, and a manufacturing specialist, they automatically think: "Kim is not capable of doing this type of job." And, I really hope they aren't saying that, because I am a hard worker, have great attendance, never later to work, etc. Heck, I have tons of computer experiene........ you'd think I'd hear back from someone! Is there anyone who would be willing to look at my resume and tell me what I am doing wrong???
I want out of there sooooooo bad, you have no idea
It's not a "safe" place to work either, considering how I've heard of how many people have died of cancer-related deaths. Heck, the plant I'm at now has been around since the 60's if that tells you enough. I'm not paranoid, but when I feel a twinge or something, it makes me wonder sometimes....... Like for example: we have to wipe the boxes down with 100% isoprophyl alcohol & that stuff gives me a headache just because of the fumes....... Practically, every day I have a headache from that place.......
Ok, enough for now!
