I commissioned as a 2 LT a little over a month ago (May 6th to be exact) - but my Active Duty report date is not until September 24th. I figured my inordinate amount of downtime would be best utilized getting a part-time summer job, preparing for BOLC, maybe taking up a new hobby, and/or doing some traveling. I'm currently living with my parents, since I obviously can't afford living expenses on my own without a job. Since graduation I have applied for 5 part-time (HS Diploma or GED level) jobs and they have all turned me down for either being overqualified or because they had a problem with me leaving in September. Because new hobbies and traveling aren't always cheap, the other plans I had for the Summer hinge upon getting a job to at least have some extra spending money (since I can only ask my parents for so much). However, because of my new "pedigree" on my resume if you will, it has been pretty difficult to find a place willing to hire me. At this point I'm going a little crazy from cabin fever. You can only watch Netflix for so long (lol). Is there anyone out there who can offer advice on finding temporary part-time positions that fit well with my situation? And if not, what else would you recommend doing with your time if there's no way to work? Just reaching out for some suggestions - thanks!
Also, as a side note, I tried to become the Active Duty Gold Bar Recruiter for my school but another girl requested it before me and got it. I may be able to step in and take over for her after she leaves for BOLC at the end of July, but that is still pending.
Sincerely,
an incredibly bored LT.
