I has been nearly two months since I graduated from higher education and I am no closer now to having a job than I was when I first returned to school. Well, I might be closer but it sure does not feel like it. I have put in application after resume, after application after resume and I haven’t received a single call back or interview. It would be a lie to say I’m not depressed about my lack of prospects, but I’m trying very hard to maintain a positive attitude.
I am, after all, fairly confident that it’s not me. The economy (so they say) is not good right now; it is not the kind of economy someone goes out into with the expectation of finding the job of their dreams within a few days. For ever opening on the market there are probably minimum 100 applications—even for those jobs people “don’t want.” Employers, of course, want only the best of the best so the screening process is near impossible. Furthermore, people who are far more educated and experienced than I am are applying for the same jobs.
To be completely honest, I don’t want to talk about job hunting anymore. It depresses me to think about it, let alone linger on it long enough to blog about it. Instead I shall write about those things that help cheer me up.
For example, I’m super addicted to Star Trek: The Next Generation right now. I found this awesome person on YouTube who has put most of the episodes online, as long one doesn’t mind watching them in 10 minute increments. It’s cheaper than renting them…
Between that and my usual gaming regimen, that’s pretty much my life outside of job hunting. I was hoping to not only have a job by now, but be moved down to Long Beach; the disappointment is huge.
I am coping.
