Bummed out

As you may have guessed, from the lack of posting any new and exciting news, I still don't have a job. I still applying for jobs fairly aggressively, putting out approximately 5 per day. There seems to be a fair amount of jobs to apply for within Sask, Alberta, and BC, however no one seems to be calling my number.

So, today I went out with lunch with my school friends. It was great to see them and visit. The handful of us that were unemployed at the end of school are pretty much still looking for working, however the ball seems to have finally got rolling for a few of them, with interviews and job offers. Something that I have yet to see. Well, I suppose you can count the UofC interview, but that was way back in August when I was still in school.

Since I have returned from holidays (mid-Sept), I have put out 63 applications to specific job postings. And nothing! But, I guess I can't get a call for everything. Pauly thinks I am averaging pretty much the same as him, as he has had 5 job interviews for 150 applications/resumes sent out.

Everyone I talk to keeps saying that it will 'just hit', and I am hoping it will. It is just frustrating to see your friends luck begin to turn around while I am still sitting here jobless.

My 'mother-daughter caring thoughts calender' seemed to bring back the optimisim in me, for a moment anyways. Todays thought:

When you get into a tight place and it seems you can't go on, hold on, for that's just the place and the time that the tide will turn.
