Job Hunt. Day 5
May. 13th, 2003 09:20 amTo steal a line from Romeo & Juliet, I hate job-hunting as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. I would rather receive dental surgery from a proctologist with unwashed hands than job hun. This is how I've always felt.
Made my first inquiry on Friday. Pyramid scheme. Tried the classified ads yesterday, found about four numbers to call out of hundreds posted. Job hunting through classifed ads is like digging through a manure pile to find a diamond ring that you can't remember which cow swallowed. What's up with classified ads anyway? Why don't any of these fools want to TELL YOU the name of their business in the ad? I dunno about you, but I hate dialing blind phone numbers. My crippling shyness aside, I just hate going into a situation unprepared. Plus, it's been my experience that most classified ads which dont' post the company's name (which is 95% of all classifieds,) do so for a reason: if they did, they know that no one would call them. No one would want to. If you're an out of work nurse or truck driver, the want ads are your best friend. For the rest of us, it gets a little trickier.
And yet we beat on, boats against the current, born ceaselessly backward into the past.
I'm still employed, btw. Just looking.
