I would say that I have been seeking employment for about 5 weeks now. I would be lying if I said that it's going well. I tend to remain cheerfully optimistic in the blog-o-sphere, which is to say that if you enjoy the antics and musings of blog me, you just might not like the real me very much. Anyway - I'm not complaining too much as I have two great volunteer positions which are also providing valuable insights into my preferred field...but at the same time the rest of what I'm doing is just throwing crap against the wall and feeling like none of it is sticking. Well, today something stuck. I got a job interview. True - this isn't something new, but it sure feels extraordinary to me right now. I don't want to say too much about it and I'm not sure how interested I am in this opportunity...but it sure did give me some stupid hope on this stupid Monday.
I was beginning to question the whole system, honestly. I mean, I have been offered things through the agencies, but nothing that I wanted to take on. So, the tried and true method of interwebs and following up - I convinced myself that people don't really get jobs that way anymore. Good jobs anyway. I'm still not entirely dissuaded, but this is a start. Starts and beginnings are good for maintaining stupid hope.

I can relate. I was out of work for 7 months last year (but only actively seeking work for 3) and it can be discouraging. Hang in there, talk to people, and wait for the right opportunity.
Thanks for the encouragement! It really helps.
