So...
The job market continues to sink as reported to me by my best friend, who incidentally is also unemployed. Last week, she told me she'd been dragged to a career fair. There were four companies at the fair. Ouch.We used to talk maybe once every couple of months. Now she calls at least once a week if for no reason than to report that she's had no luck. I guess some good things come out of joblessness - although at least I do work, just not as much.
Early this week, I heard back from a company I had applied to over four months ago. Continuing the application will require no less than 8-10 hours of work and oh, it needs to be in their hands next Monday. I question is it worth it? I think yes, but I feel like I'm back in college during finals week. There are tests and papers to write. It's like that line in the Goonies, I feel like I'm babysitting, except I'm not getting paid.
