I have learned that a resume means everything here in the big city. I mean, they don't really care about applications, they just want to see your resume. Thankfully, I did my homework and was way better prepare on my job hunt today than I was yesterday.
Sad news...my computer is a gonner so I started my day with a venti iced vanilla chai tea latte , a 30 minute subway ride and a trip to the New York City Public Library where I applied and recieved my official library card and made my resume.

| Lunch in Bryant Park |
After an hour on the library computer I finished up and headed to the beautiful Bryant Park right behind the library, ate lunch at one of the little bistro tables, enjoyed the shade for a bit and then proceeded to turn in my applications from yesterday with my resume attached, of course. I mainly stayed near Midtown, Rockefeller Center and Times Square and I learned that my dreams of being a coffee shop barista might have to come to an end. One of the managers I talked to said "unfortunately, to be a barista you need some experience." BUMMER!!!!!! I haven't given up on that dream just yet.

| NOOOO!!!! Where is Dean and Deluca? |
Next stop....Rockefeller Plaza. I don't really know that place very well unless it's Christmas time with the huge tree. I was so turned around partly because I was looking for Dean and Deluca across from the NBC Studio and when it wasn't there I was so sad! Turns out Dean and Deluca is gone but in its place is Bouchon Bakery and they are hiring. So, again, I gave them my resume and applied online.

| The sign that called my name! |
Amidst my job hunting there was more window shopping because, let's face it, I have an addiction!!! So when I saw Anthropologie in Rockefeller Plaza I just had to go in. It was like the sign was calling my name or something. It's crazy because the same thing happened again with H&M and Macy's! What can I say, I'm a sucker for shopping.
To end my day of shopping I hung out in Times Square on the new red steps by the TKTS booth and watched the fast paced life of this city. It was like I was watching everything on fast forward. There were so many people for as far as I could see and they were all on a mission to get somewhere or do something. That's New York for you and I love it. I have no homework tonight so tomorrow is another day of job hunting. I'm crossing my fingers for something good.

I have to say I, too, was shocked to hear Dean & Deluca was not across from the Today Show anymore! WTH!!! Hopefully, that new place is just as good. Aren't those red steps neat? I knew you would love them.
ReplyDeleteI was watching Kenny Chesney on the Today Show today and the camera panned over to Bouchon Bakery--I practically fell out of my seat when I saw it! I said to my husband--Crystal was there!! She's been to that bakery! :)
