Filled out job applications today, again. For someone who is told as often as I am that I have a great resume, I sure do have a hard time finding a job. My resume is great at getting me lip service, but nothing more - flattering comments that boost my ego, but ultimately do nothing for me. I guess that's better than being told my resume sucks and I am an asshole, but it still gets frustrating after a while.
So far I have applied as an English teacher, creative tutor, dog walker, dog groomer, bartender, budtender, beertender and cook. I have received no call backs or interviews. Usually, I don't wait for call backs. I take the initiative and follow up. But since these are online applications, I don't know who the fuck is reading them (if anyone is reading them). The decision makers keep themselves hidden on purpose. They don't want people like me bothering them, and I don't blame them. I wouldn't either. There are dozens of people like me looking for jobs, and only one of them.
I believe I have about a month before I get evicted from my apartment. That doesn't give me a lot of time, but it's doable. I've been in this position before, and made it out, but there are never any guarantees. I caught a good break last time, and I need another one now. I don't know what's going to happen, but I know I will keep going and document all of it. My ego will keep loving the lip service, but my actual self will keep hoping it turns into something real. Soon.
