And the hunting begins
One thing I hate about the Capitalist world that we live in is the idea of job hunting. I am not saying I favor communism where everyone is treated equally and everyone has a job, oh no, no (although it crossed my mind a million times.) I am talking about the annoyances of all these job sites that have all these useless positions. I wonder sometimes why they post these positions and if they ever do reply back to anyone or are they just doing market research trying to find out how many people out there “might have ALL the skills” for a future potential position at their organization. Can a person have ALL the skills? Half the jobs I read are meant for 3 or 4 people team, and it turns out to be a one person job. How? They except people to be robots I swear.
So I did the horrible deed today, although I feel like crap and I am sick and tired and I feel like fainting constantly from anger and depression and hatred of my life. I really do hate my life at the moment. Not because of my job, nor cause of being mentally and physically sick, oh no. It is because I let all this anger and physical ailments build up to the point where it seriously hurt. I mean it. It hurt. I had a nervous breakdown last night, and this morning I said to everything in my life, “f*^#$^%# it!” I don’t care anymore.
I really don’t. So when I regained my semi consciousness later on in the day, I decided to apply for every single job out there in my city that has anything to do with technical work. From little programming jobs to managerial. I didn’t care anymore. Who ever calls I will say yes, I will come for an interview. No more being picky.
I want to work and be useful in a job I would like getting up to go to every day. I want people to say, “yes, Mona knows how to get things done and is an amazing asset to our organization!”




I’m telling ya Mona, take some time for yourself, sounds like you need a mental, physical and spiritual swooshfwaba
forget Mexico… Dominican Republic or Cuba are cheaper and safer… check online for work in Britain you could probably get a work visa easy (check out SWAP at Travel cuts) cheap flights to Greece or South of France or Spain are plentiful. If your not to high class the hostels are a great way to go… I’m telling you girl this is doable until then just scream into your pillow when you feel the need. Rationally speaking everyone needs a break, that means away from family too (maybe yours drives you crazy too) and maybe I don’t know what I’m blabing about
soul search away girl!!
Seems as though the way you are feeling is pretty common right now. I fight with feelings of stagnation daily. I feel as though I’m wasting my life away sitting behind my desk. It will work out for you.
Applying to everything under the sun usually doesn’t work. The better approach is to network and find those hidden job openings. Most of what is posted at job boards is either a) fake b) crappy or c) requires too much education and experience and therefore 99.9% of job seekers are not qualified for. If the job is any good, it usually isn’t posted at a job board because the employer has no problem filling the position because their employees recommend family and friends for the position.
Man I do feel you on this one. I know I applied to about 50 positions nationwide before I got this interview with my current federal job. One thing I can tell you it practically takes an act of God to fire a U.S. civil servant and this one isn’t leaving the federal sector anytime soon. I will however look for a higher grade which mirrors my own education.
I wish you the best as always…you have the energy and intelligence to land a great job and don’t get discourage. It is a fat pain in the ass applying for a job…god I know…but it will come.
