Well, I'm driving seven hours for a job interview tomorrow

[HEyHEY]

Am I stupid?

[murphymom]

1. Only if you don't want the job

Good luck!

[HEyHEY]

2. good point

[A HERETIC I AM]

3. you are not stupid if it is a job you will love

Do what you love. I currently dont and it sucks. I would drive as far as i had to in order to get a job i would love.

[Droopy]

4. Why are you looking for a job that far away?

Seems like an awful lot of hassle to go through to get a job. Things must really be tough in your area.

[HEyHEY]

5. well...I'm looking for work as a journalist

And I've been freelancing, but I still only finished j-school 6 months ago. So you gotta start at the bottom, which means a small town. It's a good job though.

[CanuckAmok]

7. As long as it's not seven hours WEST of your current position.

Because that would be stupid.

[HEyHEY]

8. haha

blub blub blub

[Mikimouse]

6. Sending you good thoughts and best wishes

Seven hours is not the other side of the world, and if the position is something that you will enjoy, then it is worth the trip.:thumbsup: :hi:

[HEyHEY]

9. merci beaucoup

[prolesunited]

10. Not unless

you plan on commuting every day. :P


Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

[HEyHEY]

11. hehe good one n/t

[Nikia]

12. Wow

Silly me, doesn't want to drive two hours for a job interview. It sounds like you are more motivated than I am. Go for it!

[ironflange]

13. Wow, you have to drive pretty fast

to get to Strathmore from Van in 7 hours.

:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

14. haha

No I'm going to Quesnel

[CanuckAmok]

15. Silly, HEyHEY, there ain't no jobs in Quesnel...

..dontcha know? Campbell's Liberals govern there, too!

[HEyHEY]

16. Well, there's one for me at least

I hope so anyway. Know much about Quesnel?

[Djinn]

17. you could always come down here

If you finish j school 6 months ago you're presumably more qualified than the monkeys we call journalists!

Put it this way Rupert Murdoch is our # 1 export!

[HEyHEY]

18. I looked into US jobs yesterday

Seems like it'd be a big pain to get the legal permits.

[Newsjock]

19. It seemed surprisingly lively to me

Passed through Quesnel on my way to Inuvik last summer. It was personable enough that I stopped long enough for lunch and a quick walk around the city. Lots of activity -- and, if vice is your thing, a handy-dandy casino right in the middle of it all.

But I seem to recall that "Rough Guide to Canada" had some really nasty things to say about Quesnel from an environmentalist's point of view. Don't have it in front of me, though.

Location? I guess Prince George isn't all that far away when you need some city life.

[HEyHEY]

20. I'd rather do the seven hour drive back to Vancouver

I hear PG is a terrbile place
