I had a job...
So here’s the thing…I had a job; I had a good job…When I first started that job, it was lots of fun – it was a new challenge and there was a lot to fix and restructure. However, in the end, I hated it – it was no longer fun…being downsized was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I took some time off – January to April…I needed this time off to recharge. When I finally got serious about looking for a job – I realized that it was a nightmare. No one wants to start over, it’s hard….but you have to…government benefits will run out at some point.
So what do you do…you apply for jobs and maybe you get a call for an interview and you put the suit on…for what…to be told that you are way to0 qualified/under qualified to do anything with XYZ company. You keep trying and you end up interviewing for a “marketing” position that in actuality is a “telemarketing” position…the “tele” part might have been the most important word missing from that job advertisement….anyway, there you are wearing a suit, wishing you were in yoga pants, being told that out of the 400 calls you would make in one day, you only need to secure 6 of them to make an extra $100.00 a week…6 out of 400 is only 1.5%…what kind of goals do these assholes have…that’s not good – clearly the company doesn’t believe in their product or staff….so now you want to cry as the interviewer, who is wearing crocs, explains the rest of the position…when it’s over, you thank the interviewer, when her response is “oh no problem – you’re way better than the high school kids who apply” you leave the office and cry in the elevator.
Needless to say, I am still unemployed and looking.
Good job!!!
