I know it's been a while, I have not been really mentally up to posting in this journal or really any others. I have been fighting some pretty severe depression because the Job Market is fail right now. I keep getting interviews, but no job, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am going back and reassessing everything that I do when it comes to job hunting. Of course a big big thing in this is that i have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I am a night owl, so getting a night job would be ideal. I really would love to be baking again. I am so good at that, and I WANT to do that. But right now we are in the situation that so many others are. I need a job, and there are not enough of them to go around, and there is always someone more qualified who applied before me, who gets the job. It is hard sometimes, not to feel useless, and keep the hope up. But I have to, because I am not the only one in this boat. The market is slowly improving, and it will get better, and I will find something. It remains hard though, to keep smiling some day, to get out of bed some days. Again it helps to know that I am not the only one here, or in this country, that I am NOT alone in this mess. My family has been helping out where they can, and there is assistance available, Which is good, especially now, as we may need to get rent assistance soon.
