Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Jan 19: I’m sick and tired of the emotional roller coaster on my job search!
I’m tired of working hard at work only to have it be “not enough.” I’m tired working, trying to make ends meet, trying to take of my kids and doing a job search at the same time. I’m tired of changing my resume and I’m tired of thinking day and night about my career and how I’m going to take care of my kids, send them to college AND save for retirement on only one salary!
HR doesn’t call back. The interview I went on – What a fiasco! No one is calling back or returning my phone calls. This is ridiculous! What has happened to common sense?
I’m tired of all the networking meetings. They are depressing! I’m surrounded by miserable unemployed people and come out even more depressed! I don’t know what to do or where to go.
I can’t seem to get my emotions into check. I had better get a grip on myself, because there is no one to take care of me but ME!
Job Searching Woman
I
I feel you speak for all when you are discussing your frustration of the job search. I am at the point that I am disgusted and scared because I don’t know where to go next. When I network, I come home feeling deflated and to go to the unemployment is killing me. It is hard to find a positive person today, and when you are with negative people your own morale goes down.
I am learning to begin accepting that things I have had will be gone, and will be looking to find a debt collector to bond with this year.
I wish you luck and making this your year, for that attitude is what will make it for you.
Good Luck to you.
