I just finished watching Post Grad hoping for some...hope, I guess. When she doesn't get the job and has to move back home, I know exactly how that feels. Scouring the internet for any job position, I'm so there. Seriously, any position that does not require manual labor I have applied for. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can apply to every job position available and still not get an opportunity. It is unbelievably frustrating to think that I am unemployable. BUT HOW CAN THAT BE??? I haven't found myself completely because let's face it, post grad and still young, I could do with a bit more soul-searching. But I do know that I work hard, I'm diligent, efficient, and most of all enthusiastic! And enthusiasm is not something that can be taught. Granted I have a witty, sarcastic streak but there should be some fun in life. I feel that the best medicine is laughter. So tell me please. After applying to I've-lost-count-of-how-many-jobs, how is it that I still haven't found the match for me? But let's quit this whining and be honest.
Someone mentioned to me that my generation is a group of me me me. We feel privileged and to put it blunt, a bit conceited. We all think we're awesome and that whatever industry we studied for owes us for the education we received for them by giving us a job. I thought at this point I would be a marketing assistant reading the lasted trends in candy technology and planning out the next candy expo. I was that girl with a plan. I could tell you what I would be doing in 2,5,10,15 years from now. But the world isn't playing by my rules which I find discouraging. However, my plans are falling apart before my eyes and there is nothing more I want to see than a plan fulfilled.
I am literally spending all my time in front of a computer praying for job responses and inquires to past co-workers. I entered food science thinking, yes, everyone needs to eat! This is the perfect field to go into because everyone needs to eat! There will be a plethora of jobs available and I won't have any problem getting job offers. Wrong. Well....we can't be right everytime I guess.
So here's to another day, another week, hopefully not another month, of praying for a career. If you have any ideas, or can relate, or not looking forward to leaving college, leave a comment. Tell me your story. :)
Oh. And Go SF GIANTS! Epic game tonight!! I just can't look away. WHOO!! The world series is off to a great start. YAY!
