Work?

Looking for work is nothing but craziness. I have learned a lot about myself through this whole process. I have gone on so many different search engines in the hopes of finding that perfect job, but then to be let down. Now I am at the point that any job would be great and it doesn’t have to be the one. Your emotions also take a toll, for many its hard to understand how looking for a job could do that. Just think that you are spending hours on a computer doing endless searching, only to turn up nothing. You find a great job, apply, and then get an email saying that you are unqualified. I recently had the experience of being overqualified. Come on people; let’s try to get on the same page! So having your emotions thrown around can really get you down. I have had many days like that, where I wonder if I will ever find something. It is like a roller coaster, where you are bracing yourself for the fall ahead. I have had over a month of this, when the word temp agency came around. I have never been a huge fan of this. I just think of an old lady behind a desk chewing gum with a list of jobs. She then randomly picks one from that list and away you go. Only to realize that this job seems kind of shady and you are wondering why you are delivering a package to the corner of 3^rd and Market every Friday. You are told not to ask questions. Well, I am here to say that my mind has been changed for the good. I recently got in contact with a temp agency and the experience was great. They do all the work for me from finding jobs to getting the interviews. Why didn’t I think of this a month ago? I know that its only temp but man I will be gaining great experience. Tomorrow will be the first day of work for me. I am thrilled to finally have a job and I really don’t care that it is only a week. I will be helping get papers together for an audit that the company is going to conduct. Wow… great experience that I get to add to my resume. The only draw back is getting to work at 7am. I don’t remember the last time that I got up that early. However, I feel I have a new outlook on the idea of what a job is. It is finding something that is rewarding and where you feel happy. So if that means I need to take temp work to get there, then that it what I am going to do. So wish me luck!
