Looking for a job sucks.
x(

Why won't someone just hire me! I mean, come on, they know they want to. LOL. If only it were that easy...

Damn, stupid crappy job market. I blame Bush, for he is the cause of all my problems. :crazy:

4. I know.... jeebus.
I'm only 18 and I've had two actual jobs, and a few little jobs for friends of my mom. And it's tough out there! Everyone is looking for job. Well at least it seems like everyone is looking for a job... :shrug:

10. No, it makes me feel like a slave,
the last job I decided to refuse after the UA, the damn doctor looks in your mouth, and checks your reflexes just like he's buying a slave or race horse...that's how I felt, then says piss in this cup...

2. I'll second that. Normally rejection doesn't bother me, much.
But after ten or twelve times, one becomes a little sad and insecure!

6. Best I ever heard on that is...
...to always remember that you are trying to sell a high cost item (yourself) to a select group of folks, and that it is by definition a harder sell because of that. That's why the experts all say to network through professional organizations and to pull every string with folks you know who may know of a spot that would fit you and your talents.

Of course, the experts all have JOBS! Heh...sigh...

8. I know... I hate when they just don't do anything. Then I have to go and
make the move, and then it doesn't work out. I don't like that. x(
