• ...applications...

  how many applications will I have to send out to get that job interview?  How many job applications will I need to send out to get that job?  Now, I have to practice doing interviews.  I may be good at writing on paper, but when it comes to interviews, I absolutely STINK.  I lose out on job opportunities because I'm tooo nervous at interviews.  

  My goal is to send out at least 5 resume's today.  you're probably thinking that 5 is a really low number, but honestly, it's NOT the resume sending part.  it's actual FINDING of the job or even finding the organization that I'm willing to explore- that's the troubling part.  I WILL be sending out ALOT of resumes and job applications for jobs I don't qualify for.  the problem is that the jobs I do qualify for either 1, doesn't pay enough or 2, they think i'm overqualified or 3, a mix of both.  I don't even know what I'm looking for in life a job.  

  I would be satisfied to have a job that pays for my bare necessities as long as I have time to invest in other interests.  Of course, most people think I'm low-balling in life.  The thing is, the more you make, the higher your expenses are in life.  I know I wouldn't wanna struggle from paycheque to paycheque, but I also know that I don't need the 6 figure income to be happy with my life.  That's just me.  

  It looks like I'll have to find 2 jobs to live in that condo downtown.  perhaps it'll be worth it.  regardless of whether i'll be moving in or not, I WILL Find that job.  so far, i've sent out 2 resumes and cover letters.  Am I really crappy at it or what?  Why did it take me 2 hours to write a cover letter and send it?  

  mmmmmm.  I'll probably go for some career counselling at the local employment center.  sigh.  It's only my first official day of job applications and i'm already slightly disheartened....this calls for....some food! hahahaha
