With the process of job-hunting in overdrive mode this week, I didn't get around to posting this until now.
Thirteen Things I Hate About Looking for Work/Being Unemployed
- Would it kill somebody to acknowledge that my resume and samples were received?
- Why does it take over a month in this electronic age to get an unemployment check, especially when I applied online?
- Employers want to pay $10/hr for a job that should get $40K or more.
- Benefits? We don't offer no stinking benefits.
- It's not my fault I only had 7mo. experience at my first related job—the company went out of business.
- Seeing a job reposted that I was wholly qualified for—what was wrong with me? (see #1)
- All putting a resume on monster.com does is bring out people looking for insurance salespeople and work-at-home scams.
- I am bored.
- I'm starting to feel worthless.
- In all the jobs I've applied for, only two have been thoughtful enough to inform me that they went with another candidate.
- Why put out a call for resumes for a job that isn't actually starting until months from now?
- All the "cool" jobs are over an hour from my house (I can't afford to pay over $250/mo. for gas to get to work).
- The placement lady at my school quit just when I needed her and they still haven't found a replacement.
