I just needed to make a post about this because I was ridiculously depressed earlier this week and maintained a gloomy outlook. All that changed of course and I now see the glass half full which is great!
So the job catch-22 of this year: Every job posting/listing I have found online states they want at least 1-2years experience minimum or more than that. Er...ok. Or they will say something like it is preferred a.k.a. HIGHLY recommended if you even want to be considered for an interview. Well tell me something employers. How is a recent grad supposed to gain experience if no one will hire in the first place? The job catch-22! I need experience to get a job, but I can't get a job unless I have experience. What a maddening circle of horror. Companies would be able to afford more risks if the economy was doing better and just hire a bigger staff. Unfortunately, graduates in this year are suffering with contract deals and not getting any insurance benefits. Thus, we will have sporadic jobs and bad teeth. Greattttttt. Something to look forward to, no?
I was wondering around at the Giants World Series Parade and realized there is so much to celebrate in life. So before when I saw nothing in my future, I see every possibility in store. I've been using cover letters to gauge my sass by seeing if I get a job interview in response. It's been interesting. At this point, I have nothing to lose and might as well use it as a testing ground. With the idea that failure happens regardless, I feel free to test my limits and see what comes of it. Maybe a job, maybe not. But there are plenty to apply for. Exciting!
