It's official - I have just completed my 30th job application since Thanksgiving weekend! My good friend Matthew told me not to dispair, he applied for 47 jobs before he landed his first big-boy job last year. I have to admit that although it's a little disheartening to apply to so many jobs and not hear anything possitive back, I'm not freaking out... yet. Actually, all I think it means is that the universe is holding out on me so that I can find
the job! Happy weekend, everyone!
Don't under-estimate the value of networking and applying places where someone can get you an in. As much as I hate how that is how somethings work, 2 of my last 3 real-ish jobs have come because people within recommended me. Disheartening when you are just applying and hoping to be fairly evaluated out of a pool, I know. But head up! Your ship will come in!
