| | I can't believe it's July and I haven't been on a single interview. The job hunt is going...meaning I'm applying and looking for new opportunities everyday, but not getting any emails back or call backs. I did get one email back from SLU, saying they didn't have any interest in interviewing me for their Research Assistant position after comparing me to the rest of the pool of applicants. The job posting did say that they would prefer a grad student, but I applied anyway. I'm trying to apply to all I can, but there are a lot of jobs that I just don't meet their qualifications. It's tough.
What I'm disappointed about is not hearing anything back from the schools I've applied to. I thought I would get at least one interview, but I guess if you have people with experience applying for the same position they probably don't even want to bother with the newbie. It's all a little frustrating.
I haven't taken a part time job yet because I want to be ready at the drop of a hat for an interview, if that could possibly come along. By mid August, if things still aren't going with any of these many positions I'm applying for, I will apply to some civil service jobs, clerical work at universities and such. I do have several years of experience working in a financial aid office, working with accounts and data entry, so I think there could be some jobs out there for me. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Since I haven't been working I've been lazy and I'm not happy about that. I've fallen off the gym bandwagon and haven't worked out for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm feeling down and I just sleep a lot. This gives me time to think about being a failure and wonder what the heck I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I know that's not going to get me anywhere and it's definitely not helping my mood. I've always suffered with low self esteem and being unemployed is not helping that matter. So, next week it's back to the gym, which will hopefully lift my mood, and hopefully I'll get some stuff done around here. I have old boxes of stuff to go through-some stuff to throw away and some things to organize. I'm going to try to keep myself busy and keep my fingers crossed that there is a job out there for me!
