Posted on September 30, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I’ve heard that remark more times in my life than I care to admit. I haven’t seen a lot of movies, especially ones that the rest of the universe has seen. The ones I have seen, I have the absolute … Continue reading →

Head in the clouds

Posted on September 29, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I just had the best interview. Okay, the interview wasn’t the best.  I got tongue-tied a lot, and I was super nervous. But it also was just a preliminary introduction-to-the-position type phone call, with no real direct questions just yet. … Continue reading →

Posted on September 27, 2010 by amasterofnothing

This post topic was requested a little while ago by FindingSerenity2010, and this is the only opportunity I would have to write on this for some time. I used to be a big concert addict, when I had the money. … Continue reading →

I hate job applications

Posted on September 23, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I’ve kind of slacked lately on the real job applications. Partially because fewer and fewer positions are being posted, and partially because I’m just getting tired of it and nothing really seems to come from them. Filling out job applications … Continue reading →

It cold be worse – I could be over 50!

Posted on September 21, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I found this article yesterday on yahoo that demonstrated a completely different end of unemployment problem than what I’ve been experiencing. It highlighted how 2.2 million unemployed individuals in our country are over the age of 55, and that many … Continue reading →

Working a mindless job

Posted on September 20, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I’ve been working the past five days, which is why I haven’t found time to update. While learning another new job I’d only need a high school diploma to obtain, I’ve remembered a lot of negatives about this type of … Continue reading →

Giving up on this dream…at least now

Posted on September 17, 2010 by amasterofnothing

After 5 months of applying for research-oriented positions, I think I’ve exhausted all the limited opportunities. Fewer and fewer positions have been posted, and at this point I don’t believe I’m being considered for any. I will still keep looking, … Continue reading →

Unemployed is turning into underemployed

Posted on September 14, 2010 by amasterofnothing

Well, the hotel I interviewed at yesterday decided to take pity on me and hire me. I guess the person they chose yesterday fell through. Fail. The hours are unfortunate, but it’ll do for now. I’ll just feel much better … Continue reading →

So this will be interesting

Posted on September 13, 2010 by amasterofnothing

I really wanted to limit this to one post a day, but I must share this. When searching local positions today, I came across one that needed someone with my degree and who had experience with Dreamweaver and Photoshop. There … Continue reading →
