Job Frustrations-OT long
I have actively started looking for work. I figure at the rate I am recovering, I should be good to go by the 30th. I will not perfect, but I have to get to work. This sitting around is killing me and making me stagnant.
So, I have sent out a ton of resumes with no responses. It was making me worried. My best friend is looking for work and she told me there was this one job she went for this week that was a $10.00 and hour, part-time, receptionist position. The woman she interviewed with said she had 350 resumes for it. What????? Now granted, what I am qualified to do puts me way over that salary and job position, but still.....
I decided to try the recruiter route. I called a friend who called a friend and I had a temp job offer within an hour. It is only for a couple months, but it pays more what I am looking for, and right now I am a little nervous about my chances of finding permanant employment soon enough. Last time I was on the market, it took me a year and half to find something suitable. I must have went on 150 interviews. Of course, I weighed almost 400 pounds and we all know how that goes. I always felt like a stuffed sausage in a business suit.
I have that interview this morning and hopefully I will be starting something soon. I have become accustomed to a lifestyle that is not supported by these pitiful unemployment checks.
