I'm going to be completely honest here. Whatever is going on with the job market these days is complete bullshit. Jobs I applied for, and thought I was honestly qualified for, are now being reposted after a month on the job boards. Now, I'm not even trying to toot my own horn, here, or anything, but I know I am qualified to be, at the very least, a marketing coordinator. We're talking entry level marketing. There is no reason why these people aren't calling me and I don't really understand what employers are looking for, especially now that jobs I saw posted at the beginning of December are being posted again. Wtf?

I'm obviously more than a little agitated. I'm in a place where I am much more qualified for the jobs coming up here, I've been able to convince one company to take a chance on me... If only I could get the interview, I'll have the job. I know how to make the interview work in my favor, but I am so sick and tired of rewriting my resume to make it 'stand out'. It's crap. I've gone from 4 pages to 1. I've highlighted accomplishments and not just job descriptions. I have written cover letter after cover letter for each prospective employer, and I'm sick of doing it already... that may have something to do with my lack of enthusiasm this time around (unemployed 2 times in a year? That's un-possible!). I'm tired of this. At least (thank god) I'm getting unemployment this time. It's something. I can live... for awhile.

Who wants to take a nap with me? In the sunshine? It's not so bad. Really.

On a bright now, I'm almost done wrapping up my presentation to the Founders Fund. I'm terrified.

Happy weekend!
