I've been sending out resumés nearly everyday for the past three weeks, and I haven't received a single phone call about having an interview.
It's pretty exhausting. Sending these resumés out is alot of hard work. Custom writing a coverletter, tailoring my resumé to suit the job posting, and including a copy of my portfolio with every job application makes for alot of work. Each resumé takes at least three hours to send out. Everyday I scope out the online job postings, send out my resumé, and just wait...
Joel wants me to get a job, any job. He keeps finding cooking or retail jobs that I could get in an instant, but only if I were to lower my standards and settle for a minimum wage job. I tell him that a 30 year old educated woman who can speak english and is overqualified shouldn't settle for a minimum wage job. I have dreams that involve having a professional income.. I would like to get a mortgage, pay off my debts, and have money saved up, but I can't do that with any old job. So I keep going at it, sending out my resumé, and not hearing a word back from anyone.
I'm not giving up.. far from it. I'm just getting a little impatient, frustrated, and tired of being a professional job seeker when I could be working for someone and making mad cheddar.
I should probably start thinking positive thoughts, maybe that will help.
