Well, when you have a job, you forget the time schedule of looking for another job. One needs to think about the fact that it can take as long as 2-52 weeks to secure a new job. The employer is on a schedule that is unknown even to the most experienced of job hunters. Some may hire the day they post the ad, some may take up to a couple of weeks to fill the position. I dropped my resume off at a place yesterday and was put in the reserve pile and was ghostly pushed out the door. What I mean by 'ghostly' is like having a stiff back bone and the feeling of nothing behind you but blackness aka ghostly being pushed out the door. I've had this feeling before a couple of times but chose to ignore it out of pure desperation for a job. I've even returned to these places to follow up on the fact that I dropped my resume off and had been turned away. The frustrating part about their schedule is that (not just myself) everyone doesn't always have 2 months of money put back to live on until they land a new job. In many situations, everyone is living from pay check to pay check, and I was no different. I'm Extremely Thankful to be house sitting right now or I would be in big trouble. However, my schedule doesn't have the money room that would match up with the possible employers timing. I meditate alot.
Three months later, I find I'm back on the active job hunt with brand new resumes to hand out. I completely started from scratch on my resumes, from the look to the wording and how much information I put them. I always travel to 2 different resumes, one that covers my specialty and one that covers all my job skills. I never really liked my other resumes, but didn't have the self-esteem to create them from scratch. So, with some crossed fingers and new resumes, I shouldn't be out of work for long. I can't be out of work for long, period...
