yoooo ok that last job turning out to be bullshit might actually be a blessing in disguise because I just landed an interview for an after school theater teacher gig that pays way better~ I went to theater camp every year from ages 12 to 17 and always loved the idea of being a counselor for a program like that, and did backstage / dramaturg work for a play at UCSB back in pre-pandemic 2020 so I might actually have a shot at this. Wish me luck!

#so far I have a 100% rate of getting the job offer after interviews #ended up turning down the offer I got yesterday as it was a bit too high stakes for me at this point in my life #I take working with kids--especially kids with intellectual disabilities--super seriously #and I just don't think I'm ready to be a para-educator especially since that's not exactly the career path I want to go down in the long ru #but yeah for whatever reason I always do really good with interviews #my resume isn't anything special but when I get a chance to turn on the rizz I usually get the gig #perks of being an awkward neurodivergent kid who had no concept of social cues is that I had to learn it all from scratch #so I'm actually pretty good at being very friendly and personable and telling potential employers what they want to hear #without coming across as phony #partially because I do genuinely like chatting with people #personal
