I set a goal for myself to be employed, or at the very least set up for an interview by December 1st. Well, that was yesterday and I'm still unemployed. Technically, if you count the contracting position that I did for 8 days last month, I guess I didn't miss my mark but since I am no longer with them and have not even been financially compensated for my efforts as of yet, I'm not really counting them.
Anyway, today is a new day and I woke up in a funk. Honestly, I don't think it really has anything to do with me not finding a job yet but more so the process. I'm tired of filling out applications. I'm tired of sifting through thousands of job ads online. I'm tired of signing up with staffing agencies. All of that takes works, and on top of that, I'm tired of jumping through hoops with the unemployment office just for a few hundred dollars. I feel like if I can find a way to earn at least what I was earning with my part time job, which wasn't a lot, I'd be okay, especially if I could do it from home. That would give me the breathing room I need to allow me to focus on what I really want to do....run my own online business, and get into some sort of career dealing with houses, and also allow me to focus on moving out of this city...but that's another blog..maybe tomorrow. That's what would make me happiest. Getting there seems to be the problem. I even applied for a leasing consultant position for an apartment complex because the ad said they would train you. They chose someone else.
Like I said though, I'm not defeated. I just needed to vent to get it out of my system in order to focus today and come up with a new game plan because clearly what I'm doing is not working. You know, "Do the same thing, and you will get the same results"......also known as the definition of insanity. I'd like to think that I'm not insane.
Okay, enough rambling, time to get some more fuel in the form of coffee and get the wheels turning in the right direction.
Until my next ramble session,
