I still haven’t found a job! As much as I’d like to wallow in my feelings of failure I still feel positive (deluded maybe) I’ll eventually find my job of choice.

To be honest I haven’t applied for everything on offer that I could have. For example, “Wanted…Chicken Catcher” I’m not exactly sure what this job involves…but intuitively I know it’s not for me. (No offense to those chicken catchers out there).

I have noticed a small demented twitch when someone asks me how my job hunting is going and i’ve started making things up at social gatherings, like, “oh, yeah, I got work ages ago, bit of admin here, temp work, you know,” and quickly change the subject.

Maybe this is where I begin to modify my goal like “Find a job I enjoy occasionally” or “Find a job I kind of enjoy” Perhaps I need to change it to just “Find a job”. Ugghhh, I have to do something.

I’ve decided to cold call organisations I would like to work for rather than wait for a response to the applications I’ve sent out. Most of which are positions I’ve applied for because I have the necessary job skills but not necessarily the will or passion for. Being in between jobs is a pain in the backside and somehow and I’m not quite sure how you accomplish this when the bills are pilling up but somehow, I would like to be working in an environment I enjoy, a job where I feel good about myself when I leave.
