Since moving to Washington I have been working part-time with Weight Watchers and of course completing my Navy Reserve time. I have also been looking for a more full-time or part-time job to fill in the other hours of my day. I should graduate in December with my Master's and probably should have something set-up for the re-payment of the student loans. Well, that was my plan anyway. I should remember who is really in-charge of my and everything goes according to God's plan. Now, I wish I could convince him otherwise some days, but you just can't argue with the professionals. Anyway, I found out today that I was not selected for one of the many jobs that I had applied to and been interviewed twice. Now, being of the age I am and hopefully increasing in my wisdom, I should remember to be patient (who can do this properly?), try not to stress about things (can anyone tell me that they don't stress about these things?), and have faith (which I will say, is easy to say and hard to do all of the time). So, today was my pity day. I have had it. I have been applying for jobs that only require a high school degree, but I also would be thrilled to have that job too!
It is absolutely frustrating and a horrible time to be looking for a job (with the state of our economy). How do people stay positive and continue to job hunt? Are there any support groups for this? If not, lets start one. I need some motivation. In all honesty, I can't quit. Its not in my nature. Now I have become motivated to find a job just to say, "I DID IT!" I will remember when at this job on my worse day there that I worked hard to find this job and I am thankful for this job. I will be blessed to be employed!
I must admit that I need to remember how lucky I am to have my husband's career and its stable. I am happy, healthy, and loved. This is what is really important in life. So, like my husband said to me today, "Do you think Colonel Sanders quit when no one would by his chicken?" NO, I don't and boy-o-boy I go for some right now.
