The Application Process...

Seeing as Bentley so nicely decided that no grad classes will be scheduled on Fridays I was lucky enough to have the day off. After my gym trip I strapped back into my job applying chair and sifted through the options BentleyLink has to offer right now. After a 6 month-hiatus, I finally got a new password and am able to use the database again! (it's really sad how excited someone looking for jobs gets about things like this... I think I need a hobby) After looking through about 1,200 jobs, yes 1,200, I actually applied to some promising positions! With last night's riveting search and today's I think I may have applied for 15 jobs in 24 hours. Pretty crazy if I do say myself, but this battle will be won!

Since all of my friends are silly accountants I was afraid for my lack of activities this weekend and actually played with the idea of going to Charlotte for the weekend. Pretty crazy when I was looking this morning to leave this afternoon... but I hate sitting around and doing nothing all weekend when that's basically what I do all day anyway. From this search I was surprised that even when I was searching at about 9:45 AM, they were still selling seats on flights that left at 10:40 AM! That's cutting it a little close don't you think? Especially when the airport advises flyers to be there about 2 hours prior to take-off. Either way, I was shocked. On twitter I found a crazy article about how to find the cheapest flight possible and the way one blogger goes about his booking process. Great read for cost-conscience travelers!

Hope everyone enjoyed another beautiful day in Boston! Happy weekend!
