fucked, again.
job hunting is a full time occupation that pays a pittance to grovel to the people who get to make arbitrary decisions about your fitness to participate in society.
i write around 3,000 word per week on average, in addition to text i cut and paste into applications and letters. i can spend 30-40 hours per week constructing applications - particularly if i want to have a hope of being offered an interview.
frankly, that's much more than i'd have to work as a damn lawyer. i know, i've done it. and i've seen others do it. and i'd get three to four times the take home income.
damn if i'm not feeling a tad pissed off, always having to apply for entry level positions. always being passed over for a younger, less experienced, candidate.
i'm so considering shaving my head and playing the "slightly odd" freak card ... and perhaps even fleshing my resume out with all the details ....
i can come second for any job i apply for, what does that say about the people not choosing me? i'm almost as good as everyone they already have in the office at everything everyone else is already doing ...
yes, i'm feeling sorry for myself. another of my former classmates made associate. i made a sandwich. and got another letter of demand for a whole fortnights 'pay' ... fuckknuckles ...
