I’m Back…I Know you Missed Me!
First I would like to apologize on the extremely long delay it has been since my previous blog. I have left you without my word for months and I for some of you that might have been difficult. But rest assured I am now back and ready to regain my rightful place in your heats. For the past month and a half I have been reconnecting with my academic self. Having gone abroad second semester last year, and then working over the summer for Heritage, I had forgotten exactly what school was like. Well I am here to report that it is just as stressful as ever.
My plate has been filled full of with class and my desperate attempts to find a job. But in doing so I neglected this responsibility, but I am now back and ready to provide you with the insight, wisdom and smiles that you have come accustomed to.
But what I have learned in my time back at school and my harsh snap back to reality is that I am not prepared. Though that may sound scary for you, I can guarantee you its much scarier for me. I am being thrust into the lion’s den and sooner than I want to believe I might be a part of that growing unemployment pool. You think that spending the additional money, and going to the top out of state school gives you a leg up on the competition. But what it seems to me is that the only thing I have done is surround myself with the best competition hindering my own attempts to find a job.
The pressures have never been higher.
I have ONE career fair to attempt to wow corporate recruiters, and a resume from which I hope they can read into my many skills and assets. And I will be honest with you; it hasn’t been going entirely that well. I have contacted over fifteen companies over the last three weeks and I have only landed one interview (I have it this Friday, wish me luck).
I don’t mean for this blog to be a self-pitying diatribe, I just want to give my perspective as a soon to be addition to our nations workforce. You go to college, and you seemingly do all the right things, but in this economy being young, and being inexperienced are not helpful qualities.
I know that I am a good student and will make a valuable asset to a corporate team (just ask my boss at Heritage Nancy) But its difficult to get yourself heard, just give me a foot in the door and I will wow you, I just need that inch.
