Burnout!

[serene]

I have applied for more jobs in the last week than I can count. Certainly
more than fifty. Possibly as many as a hundred. Spending the day on
Monster. Feeling like a piece of meat. Joy!

Oh bleah. Nothing sucks the life force out of you like job hunting I find. May something nifty come along really soon.

Thanks!

whoah, there are that many jobs in your area to apply for? i'm lucky if there are 3-4 at any given time, in our area. our help wanted ads in the local papaer don't even take up a complete column.

Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org) and Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) have been very fruitful for me, but I've also had good luck on the local universities' websites.

see? i live in BFE. Craigslist and Idealist don't even come within 2 hours of here.

*nodnod* I feel for you. This is your opportunity, in your spare time, between making soap and being an entrepreneur, to start Melslist.org. ;-)

hey, i'll pencil that in between putting the kids to bed and paying bills. ;)

Craigslist is a joke here

The jobs are junk. I don't think anyone takes it seriously in St. Louis.

Craigslist is the place I've found all my good contract copyediting gigs.

Oy, I hate that feeling. ~Landing the perfect job vibes~ headed your way.

Thank you, sweetheart!

[surelars.livejournal.com]

Yikes. I hope you find something that'll match your needs real soon.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Good luck! I hope you find something soon!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[randomposting.livejournal.com]

Of course! *crosses fingers for you*

mmm, meat!

[gnaw gnaw gnaw]

Yay!

Sorry you're feeling like a piece of meat, but let me just say if you were meat - it would be top quality, juice, delicious steak.

That *is* a lot of jobs. I'm sure something wonderful is just around the corner. I'm still hoping for a break in the "Best Temp Job Ever" place.

Wouldn't that be great? But meantime, the one I interviewed for yesterday would be pretty cool. Good pay, and a mile from my house!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

And thank you. *smooch*

[twostepsfwd.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the hunt!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Serene is delightful and delicious
Cooler than a million purple fishes
Whoever hires her will be so lucky
Because Serene is absolutely ducky

Buena suerte, lovely one.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Ohmigosh, you people are making me so happy!! Thank you.

[berkeleyfarm.livejournal.com]

With that kind of effort I am certain that you will find something wonderful soon. *vibes your way*
