Job hunting is a pain in my ass sometimes. I look and fill out numerous online applications, submit my resume to dozens of sites, send out emails to various company HR reps and all I get is the “generic” thank you for your submission email stating that my application is being reviewed. I really know that my application is at that bottom of a long list of emails that probably never get looked at.
Even for a simple customer service job that I definitely have the qualifications for. WTF? Hell over half of the jobs I try to apply for now, I am overqualified. I want to see if I at least get a second email telling me that, but no such luck. in my own field of accounting, I can’t even get a callback for an interview.
I know what you are going to say, just keep on sending them out, perseverance pays off in the end. All I have to say to that is “pfft!” I need something now. I cannot keep on like this. No insurance, low pay, no sense of holding my head above water. I need something NOW!
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a sense of entitlement, that I want things handed to me. I have the skills, I just need a place to use them effectively.
