Well, I'm $200 short for my bills this month, and I am only on the schedule for 3 days this month. There is a chance I may get called in to cover a shift or two, but I can't live with this much uncertainty.
I need a job.
I can't quit MAC-it's opened so many doors for my future that I can't give up on it quite yet-and when I do work, you can't beat the pay, but this freelance thing isn't working for me right now (this is the least I've been working since I started). At the suggestion of my manager at the store I work at & cirucmstances beyond my control, I quit my other 2 jobs to give MAC my complete attention & now I have no hours. Almost everyone at my counter is new so there won't be a position opening there anytime soon & at the free-standing store there are at least 2 freelance girls that are ahead of me in getting a permanent position.
I'm student teaching now so I can't work during the day (or Weds/Thurs nights-I have class). I understand that I need to have teaching experience blah blah blah, but this slave labor is keeping me from having the real job I desperately need. Why does ever other major get paid internships but in education???
Does anyone know of any place in NYC/LI that would be willing to let me work 4pm-whenever on Mondays, Tuesdays & Fridays? Or does anyone on the inside know of any permanent MAC positions that are/will be opening soon? (I'd have weekend availability in that case). I've checked the job postings religiously, but nothing in this area yet. I make my goals, can get a really good recommendations from my RMs, come in & take my breaks on time & all that. My AUS/IPT could be better, it averages in the lower $40s, but that's the average for the location I'm at.
On a cynical note-to everyone considering a freelance position, don't take it as your only job if you've got real bills to pay.
I've been crying & stressing for a few hours so I'm sorry for the extra long rant.
