It's January 2012. I never thought I'd be sitting at my kitchen table, freezing because the house thermostat is turned down to conserve, and still posting for jobs. Seven months in and only two interviews. It's enough to make you question your validity, worth, and sanity. And they say it's getting better? I hope so, and I'm waiting for "better" to show up in my neighborhood.
It's not financially tough for me, yet, but as each day goes on, I'm losing faith that I will get up in the morning and have a purpose to get dressed, get in my car and go to work. I need to work.
I don't think the online job agents work well at all and I am in search of an agency -- one agency -- that I can work with, get to know ME and what I'm capable of instead of the limited online resume.
If you are out there, tell me how you're coping, what works, what doesn't work.
