Job Hunt

Months and months of searching, applying, rejection. It becomes a rather pointless cycle. I feel like I am not getting anywhere, searching the same websites, applying to the same employers. If I do not get something soon, I will have to try to find general office work. Secretarial work? It feels ridiculous that we go through full university degrees only to be told we need to go out and get office experience before we are useful at all. Was it worth going to university at all? Sure, I can say "University educated to degree level" but what does that really mean in the grand scheme of things?

After more rejections and more absent responses, and little to no feedback, I shall continue the search. It now begins the cycle of having to apply for positions that do not REALLY interest me, not the direct path that I had wanted. Everything is a challenge though, I suppose, and I am sure that whatever I do get (yes, thinking positive! I will get a job, I will have somewhere to live, I will NOT be homeless and unemployed) will be a valuable learning experience. Meanwhile I am going to continue listening to Cyndi Lauper, working on endless essays and exam preparation, and drink ample tea.
