Sometimes I Want to Scream

When I was young, I could write anything I wanted and get it said the way I wanted it read. Now, I struggle to get my creative thinking on paper. I could write short stories and enjoy the whole process. Somewhere along the line I lost the touch to write even a creative job skills line for a functional resume. I know what I want to say until I go to write it down, then my brain freezes up and all I'm left is is the letter head introduction. Somedays, I don't even want a resume and just walk into someplace to ask for a job and you know they say, "Can I see a resume and you can apply for a future job on my website" or "Not hiring right now, but will hold your resume for 6 months!"

I keep plugging along and doing everything I can to land a job. I like being a part of something good.

When are the employers going to do more to get people back to work? When are they going to stop crushing a fragile self-esteem in the basic responses written above and put people back to work. It's amazing how quickly the economy will recover if people are put back to work. There are 2 million people out there who want to work and can't because the employers have forgotten that money won't start rolling until they stop holding onto it. It's basic math! My business was pretty basic, but as soon as I brought in another product, my sales increased 15% almost over night. My management skills help train others what I had learned and increased sales by 50%. My point is, stuff increase sales a little bit; empowering others to succeed increased sales way more. It's basic math! Put people back to work and the money will roll again! I know the money spent to train someone is never recovered, but the loss of not putting people to work is number not yet figured, unless you count homeless numbers.

PS. I want to work too!
