I'm very stressed at the moment...in fact, I am currently skipping a pool party because I don't want to be around people (much less be asked why I am not swimming).
I need to get a second part-time or a full-time job. I like the job I am at, and, if it didn't have a set number of hours, would gladly just do that more. I have come to realize that, while I enjoying working, I hate looking for a job. There is a job in the library system in which I work that is higher pay and more hours, but a different location. I would rather not change locations, but have decided that at some point in my career that may be necessary, so I have accepted that. However, I honestly don't think that I would be the best candidate for this position (unless I am the only internal applicant, and even then, there could be someone more qualified). In a year or two, I think this would be a good fit for both me and the library (I am in the process of applying for a Master's program). If I got this job, I would not need a second job, and I would only be working ten more hours than I am currently. If I apply and don't get it, I worry that I will be hesitant to apply for similar positions in the future. On the other hand, if I apply and get an interview, even if I don't get the position, I will have an idea of interview questions and what I need to know for the job...
I am also concerned that if I apply at multiple places, I may get more than one offer, and I am very indecisive...what if I choose one and it sucks??
I feel fairly confident that within the next 5years (hopefully much earlier, but I want to be realistic), I will have a full-time job and be self-sufficient and relatively happy. Filling in the gap between now and then is pretty stressful, though...
