I'd like to say how much I hate looking for work. I know I'm going to find another job, I have faith that this will happen eventually but the whole process of finding that job when you're out of work and have bills to pay that aren't getting paid sucks big time. I'm not feeling it right now, not one bit! I don't know how many places I applied to since jobs started opening up last month and I've only had 2 interviews. Of them 1 was a scam while the other hired me on the spot (baring a physical and criminal background check) but the pay was too low for me to take. If money wans't an issue, I honestly would have jumped on that job. Seriously, it would have been a really good part time job and a bit fun too. Even though it would have been cafeteria service at a local high school. But I've applied to five jobs this month alone (at least those are the ones I have print outs of for my records, I know there were a couple or so that I forgot to print after I applied), and not one call back. Yesterday I applied to 2, today it was 2. In the mean time, I list things on feebay and I spend more money to list on there than I ever make! Last week I listed 8 books, 4 didn't sell, 1 sold (for a woping 2 dollars! my fees alone for last week are probably more than that. and I don't over charge on shipping, just enough to cover postage although last week I bumpbed up my charges by 50 cents, giving me a whole 75 cents after postage, but that's not even counting what I spent on the padded envelope which I bought for my etsy shop!) and I still have 3 left that expire tomorrow. None of which have any watchers, all are buy it now listings. I'm still looking, as if I had nothing better to do tonight. /sarcasm but it's just frustrating waiting around for them to call me especially with so many companies adding notes to their job postings that they do not accept phone calls. Makes me wonder if they will disqualify a person that calls to show interest. After all, my sister is the one that gave me a lot of my job hunt training and is the one that is constantly telling me to call these places. Yeah well she's been out of the job market for about 11 years, not counting the brief stint she did at the Disney Store and Jewel before her foot surgery last year.
