New opportunities.

January 7th, 2009 at 05:12 am

So being a temp, my contract of course had to end early because apparently the 3 temps that helped out worked too fast. My last day is Friday. But luckily I may have another contract starting on Monday so there is really no lapse. Even though I'm ready to just have a permanent job just for the sake of only having to be the new person one more time, I'm glad that at least I can be working. Plus the best part about temp for the mean time is that I can try out different jobs and without the commitment if I don't like it.

Other than that, I've been able to save a little. I'll find out tomorrow if I have the other temp job on Monday so if there is no lapse in paychecks I'll be able to put more away. I'm really excited to be saving again. I'll update my stats this weekend once everything gets to its destination.

Plus I'm curious about my credit report. When I checked it last year I had a 806 with Equifax. I wonder what it is now since my student loan is lower I had just started paying then, I haven't opened up any credit cards this past year, and my balance on them is relatively the same. I'm waiting until the 11th to pull it again for my 1 free report a year.
But yeah this is on my list of things to do along with filing taxes. eek!

    806 is NICE!

    I get my free credit reports like this:
    January - Equifax
    April - Trans Union
    August - Experian

    in this manner, I am checking it every 4 months.

    I have noticed that Equifax is the only one worth paying the extra money to see your FICO credit score. Trans Union and Experian seem to have their own scoring system which is NOT a FICO.

    However, there are new rules being implemented concerning FICO scoring. This is an interesting article:
