the Job Hunt
October 7th. Today marks an approach to 3 months on the job hunt. As my friends all reach their goals one by one, I can’t help but wonder if mine will ever work out. Judging by statistics, the timespan of this whole ordeal is still below average. However, as any jobseeker will know, each passing month can feel like a year. An [employed] friend asked me the other day, what exactly did I do with my time now that I had so much of it. The question pained me; what did I do everyday? Well I obsessively check the job boards as soon as I wake up, scan for openings throughout the day...and then suddenly the sun has set. It’s strange how days on the search can seem so short yet when we think about them collectively, it feels as if it has been eternity. I might be going insane. Today, I will vow to stop feeling bad about myself and change this whole approach. I can’t control the extent of this job hunt but I can control the way I choose to pass the days leading to the close of it. Today, I start blogging.
