Korea- Too boring

[alfred russel]

Whoop, sorry.

Career services at USC should really be helping you. Maybe they would have some advice for skill sets you could work on that would make you marketable when you get back. Maybe if you can learn some Korean that could open doors for employment in LA or SF.

They've asked me to come in, and you know, I really should, but they're not really very useful--"here's a job posting from the SC government jobs board, Hunter!" "Yeah, I know, and here are four more that you didn't see; I'm actually better at your minimal duties than you are"--but especially since I've opted out of the bar because of the decline in barred attorney hiring and wages (and I still say it only seems like a terrible idea in hindsight, and at least saved me a couple of thousand bucks).

But what about the interview prep, the mock interviews, networking opportunities, and career counseling? It isn't just about finding inboxes to send your resume to, and they should help with the other stuff.

By the way, PM me your facebook address

I haven't used it in six years, I don't really know it anymore.

[jimmy olsen]

If you're coming over seas you'll need it to keep in touch with folks back home.

[jimmy olsen]

You on skype then? Email me that address. I need to see how bad your accent really is.

I did go once, and they treated me like such scum I didn't even get to the stuff I wanted to talk to them about (whether and to what extent they believed my criminal record would impact my ability to get work, anyone they knew in a hiring position in government service--even though I think they're not supposed to do that--etc.).  Like, I was really embarrassed to talk to her, because she acted like I was a complete asshole because I didn't have any volunteer experience (yeah, because I got thrown out of the GAL program on my last training day because I had a criminal record--which I disclosed, mind) or a 1L summer internship (I think I had a 2.7 GPA my 1L year, I sucked like a sucking competition in Sucktown, and I was pretty much too depressed/aware of my chances to even try).

Ever since then I've been very avoidant of my CSO, until she sent me the employment survey, which I filled out with gusto.  She said she was sorry.  But I'm pretty sure she's just going to hit me again.

Why?  If they die or something, I'm sure I'll get an email.

We don't really discuss our personal lives/random bullshit with each other; I mean, I talk to my dad pretty regularly, but only because I'm the only person he knows that gives a shit about ancient history, although also I ask him for money a lot, and in that regard he'll probably be happy not to hear from me for a while; and once or twice a year I talk to my sister for a few hours.

You on skype then?

No.  Is skype free?  Of course, I don't have a microphone either.  My service plan may let me just, you know, call you.

Skype is free.

It works the other way around if you have a regular phone. I'll call you.

[Ideologue]

What's a regular phone?  Non-VOIP, or do you mean landline?  I'm not trying to be difficult here, I swear.

I'll PM my number.

Cell phone or land line for sure. If you have a phone number I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[Ideologue]

OK but if you're calling me now hold on, I've got to use the bathroom.  I just drank like two sodas with my cheesecake.

[jimmy olsen]

The county hiring supervisor should be sending you an email.

Situation resolved.

[jimmy olsen]

If now's a good time, I'll call sure.

[jimmy olsen]

That call cost me $3!

But could you understand the yokel at all?
