I sent Hasbro my stuff on Wednesday. Caroline said this was a rushed hiring process and that her boss was already doing phone interviews. I've yet to hear anything. I don't understand why I haven't found a job yet. I've been applying all over the place, having interviews, doing what I think I'm supposed to be doing. I know I'm awesome. My friends, coworkers, and supervisors can attest to the fact that I'm awesome. So why the fuck can't I find a job? I really don't understand, and I'm starting to think I'm just unhireable.
I want to go to grad school, but it's too late to apply for this fall, so I'm going to have to apply for next fall ('09). I DON'T want another summer job that's going to end in September so I can crawl back to the Y where I promised myself I would never go back. I don't know what to do. Maybe I just don't know how to get a job because I've had the same stupid job for the past three years, mingled with meaningless last-minute summer jobs. I want to feel like the three years I spent at UMass weren't a waste. I want my degree to do more than hang on the wall in the living room.
I just saw a job I interviewed for months ago listed on craigslist. I was told they "could not offer me a position at this time" because of the volume of talent they had to sift through. If they had given me the job they wouldn't be reposting it!
It's really frustrating and discouraging. Too frustrating and discouraging.
