JOB HUNTING November 19, 2008

Hi!

I am currently jobless. The economy has finally gotten to me. I was laid off on monday, and this friday is my last day.

In a sad attempt to get a job, I am posting on my own blog in the hopes that someone in D.C. will see this and offer me a position.

I am a Psychology and Women and Gender Studies major. I graduated Cum Laude and have experience working with autistic children, working in counseling centers, organizing fundraising events, waitressing, being an assistant, secretary and doing medical billing.

I am fully bilingual (spanish/english) and have minor proficiency in french and portuguese.

My interests are psychology, writing, fashion, photography and the arts. I am a an outgoing, upbeat, ambitious and hard-working individual that can excel at whatever she puts her mind to.

Please feel free to contact me through this blog or at my email: vashti.joseph@gmail.com

Thanks, and I hope to hear from someone soon.

The deepest need of man, is for the unknown – for which we never think to thank God – Emily Dickinson

Poem: Waking up is hard to do June 23, 2008

You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.

So many live on and want nothing
and are raised to the rank of prince
by the slippery ease of their light judgments.

But what you love to see are faces
that do work and feel thirst.
You love most of all those who need you
as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
You have not grown old, and it is not too late
to dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out its own secret.

Rainer Maria Rilke. Das Studenbuch
