It’s the 4th of July holiday weekend, a few short weeks until I am out of job. So far I have learned that what I am doing is either not working, is working, but taking its sweet old time or is somewhere lost in between. Basically what I mean is I haven’t learned anything. Except how NOT to find a job.
I keep taking the advice that I have been given. I have used the methods that I know to have worked many times in the past. I feel I have done some things that have yet to be tried or discovered…and I am still sitting here waiting for that first interview. What’s it going to take? A Bribe?
At this point, I am not sure even a bribe will work (like I have the money for that). Maybe it’s time to try that blackmail thing I mentioned a few posts back? NO…I am most certainly not trying the sexual act…GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER…I have at least another week or two before I have to start thinking about that. Hmmmm???
I am starting to get a little desperate. I have even lowered my standards and extended my commute, which I definitely did not want to do. I am tired of driving over 100 miles every day. It really kicks my butt by the time I get home. My main goal has been to shorten my commute. My salary range does not seem to be a problem at this point, so I have not messed with that (I think most companies would be willing to pay me next to nothing to sit on my butt and pretend I know stuff…so no need to mess with that).
So where do I go from here? I am not so sure at his point, but I will let you know as soon as I do. The one thing I know is I can't give up and I can't let it get me down. That's the best advice I can offer at this point, but I feel it's great advice.
Have a Happy 4th of July and remember that those fireworks could have been made by someone in my position ("I will get those SOB's")…which could spell disaster for you. I’m just sayin’...have a safe Independence Day.
Status Update: Celebrating my independence with 20 days of employment left. yay…(insert your own raspberry sound effect here).
How are you now, Joe? Have you found the ideal job for you in terms of salary and the distance from your place? Applying for a job maybe a daunting task to first timers due to the pressure of the screening process. With your experience and savvy resume, I believe you'll get the job of your preference.
