| | I've been depressed lately about the job hunt. Yes, I understand our economy is bad. Yes, I do know it's the summer and even harder to find work. Sure, I have more education than experience, but I'm not without skills. And yes, I do realize I live in one of the states with the highest unemployment rates.
Still. I've sent out dozens upon dozens of resumes and applications. Not even a nibble. Nothing. Nada.
Likely it's not a reflection on me at all, but it makes me feel worthless. It makes me feel like I have nothing to offer society. Or, what skills I do have, aren't valuable.
I'm not looking to be pitied. I'm looking for a job. I'm looking to feel useful.
I sent out another bunch of resumes and applications today. This group is for research facilities and working in their *winces* call centers. It's not telemarketing, but it's still call center work.
I'm seriously considering getting my CDL. Ads for drivers are everywhere. I would have my pick. They pay is pretty darn good, too. I could have a job that is a regular 40 hour one and never leave the state. But could I be a trucker? A delivery person? A chauffeur? I don't know. I like driving around, but I need something much more mentally stimulating than that.
I know. I'm unlikely to find a job that mentally stimulates me. I'm unlikely to find one that I even enjoy. That's the fate of the majority of people. If you want to live the life you want, you have to have the income to fund it. Or find a magic money tree.
