Confidentiality and Discretion

Browsing Posts tagged Hunting

Now a little background for you, we were hunting this fine upstanding Charleston area resident known as Q. A confidential informant put us onto him in Lincolnville. The confidential informant told us Q was waiting on him so he could purchase guns off him. So we knew he would be home. The best part is Q was supposed to be a big bad ass drug dealer that had lots of guns, drugs, and security. With the usual they will never take me back to jail alive. as you will tell by the video he was nothing of the sort. Cornered he put his head down. Let his mother take his jewelry off him, and went to jail quietly. A little technical note. Turn the volume down on this video. First reason it was raining pretty hard so that contributes to a lot of the noise. Second I am told that the recorder I was using at the time. Was setup to record video at a slower rate that audio. ( who would program a recorder to do that??) so the audio is ahead of the video. When you wach the video with sound it will sound like a old ninja movie LoL !!! But anyway enjoy the video. I will be buying a new recorder on Monday so the audio issues will be gone

I’ve got an interesting job hunting situation and I need some advice:

I graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. My senior year, I interned at a rehab facility for teens because I was interested in social work and substance abuse. My time there disappointed me and I wasn’t a great fit for the place, so I wasn’t hired on after graduation. I’ve been looking for a job since May, but haven’t found anything in my field. In August I took a temp to hire overnight job with Walmart. Obviously I’m not happy there since I am over qualified and the pay is nowhere near what I would make using my degree.

Honestly, I’ve been a bit lazy and negative while job hunting and at this point I am totally lost.

I like Social Work, but I’m not sure it’s the best path for me since I’m terribly introverted. I picked the field because I am a bleeding heart idealist, but those things don’t translate to a job as a Social Worker in the real world. If I could go back I would have studied Computer Science or Accounting as a better fit to my personality, but I can’t go back to school at this time.

I don’t have very much experience in the field or anything else for that matter: 2 years part time in a college library, 3 months at McDonalds one summer, 3 months as a missionary in Thailand, 3 months as a hostess/cashier at a Steakhouse, 1 month as a cashier at a buffet, 3 months as a pizza server, the internship for a year part time, a 6 month attempt at running a cleaning service with my husband, and the Walmart job since August (3 months so far). I didn’t work except for during the summers (all those 3 month periods) in college (big mistake). Currenly I only put the internship and the cleaning service on my “social work resume” and add the library job for my basic resume. I’m not sure if I should add any of the others. I think not since it looks choppy and the jobs were unprofessional.

I also have had a hard time networking because my husband and current coworkers are the only people I know in my town. I moved from a small town 2 years ago, but being introverted has made it hard to make new connections.

My references are also weak. I thought a few of my professors would be decent references, but I did not ask them before I started using them as references and am not sure that was a great idea after one would not return my phone calls. I haven’t been that big of a standout since high school or at any of my other jobs, so I doubt many of the former employers would be that great either.

Also I don’t drive, so DFCS or other jobs that require travel are out of the question.

I’m a brilliant person, It’s just not immedietly visible and I wish I could be given a chance without having to drasicallly change who I am.

So that’s my situation, here are my questions:
Should I add/remove any jobs to either my “social work resume” or my basic resume? Does working at Walmart with my degree make me look like a loser to future employers?
How do I make decent connections after graduation in a new city?
I’ve thought about working with a temp agency- has anyone had experience with them?
With the application process being primarily internet based how do less qualified canidates get noticed?

I’m in desperate need of focus (if it’s that’s not already obvious.)
Any other advice or observations are welcome. Thank you!
