Comments on: The job hunt continues http://www.yourish.com/2005/10/30/254 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:56:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: tglit76 http://www.yourish.com/2005/10/30/254/comment-page-1#comment-727 tglit76 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 04:45:44 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=254#comment-727 I spent most of the last five years looking for a job. Fortunately I was employed most of that time, but at really unpleasant things. My last job was so bad I spent the last year on blood pressure meds and anti-depressants. I finally found a job in the most roundabout way - I went to a university jobsite to apply for an accounting job that I saw in the newspaper (I don't really want an accounting job but I can do it) and after I did that, I browsed the site and found another job to apply for that looked like it had been written for me. It was so close to what I had been wishing for that it was spooky. Long story short, I applied, was offered the job, took it, been there ten weeks, and I now end the weekends anxious to go to work on Monday. I have been off the anti-depressants for a week and I'm feeling just as good as I was on them. I sympathize with you - I wish I could wave a wand and find you something, but since I can't, I encourage you to keep going and apply for anything that seems remotely good, and just pursue every wacky lead you can. I was really very uninterested in that accounting job but I'm very glad that I went down that path and found the job I have. I wish you the best. I'm sending you all my finding-good-job-vibes since I don't need them now. I spent most of the last five years looking for a job.
