On The Job Chase

I graduated in December 2011 with my Bachelors in English with an emphasis in technical and professional writing. Now, I was six months pregnant when I graduated, so I honestly didn't start actively looking for a job until after my baby was born and I felt comfortable going to work full-time.  I'd say my serious job chasing didn't start until May 2012.   I've had six interviews since then, and after each one I regretted something I said or did almost immediately after the interview was over.

Nerves, man. They mess me up.

So here I am today, getting ready to hit the one year mark of my job chase.  I start to get discouraged fairly easily when I read yet another rejection email, or worse, I don't receive any acknowledgement that I applied to a job at all.  Reading through the qualifications of jobs is frustrating, because more often than not I don't even come close to measuring up to a company's needs.  All this negativity, there's gotta be something to learn from it.  What better way to learn than to write it out? It's kind of a win-win for me.  I learn from my experiences as I write, while gaining experience through writing!  Eh? And you? Well, you can read my posts and say things at the screen like, "Duh, Amber! I figured that out when I was ten!". 

Onward to bettering my job chase! Perhaps I can actually catch something before I hit my year mark.
