Here We Go

I promise to cut down the number of "job blogs" I have on here and write more up-beat posts...after this one. I have two job interviews today: One at 11:00 and another at 1:00. One of these should land me a job by Monday, I would assume. It would be nice to break the unemployment I'm in right now so I don't feel like a slacker.

You appear to be a serial job seeker and always seem to find fault with your many jobs.

No, not at all.

Firstly, I'm not that old (I'm 23, by the way), and I've only worked enough jobs to count on one hand; secondly, I worked my first job in the summer while I was in high school, I've stayed at one for three years (while working at another for a few months), and another for nearly two years after that(that's four jobs right there); thirdly, this last job I left was the shortest amount of time I've ever spent at a position out of the total of five jobs (that includes this one) I've had. Tell someone who's slightly claustrophobic to spend 45-47 hours a week in a tight space surrounded by cement walls, dark green paint, and dim lighting, and see how well they handle it.

So I'm a serial job seeker? No. I'm young and trying to find my niche, and I will find it. It's not a matter of finding fault with every place I work. Why work somewhere you hate? So many people do it, but what's the point of being miserable until retirement? God knows it'd be nearly impossible to be 100% content with my place of work, but that's not what I'm looking for. Just enough to get by without going crazy.

Seriously, if you haven't worked retail, you have no clue what hell is.
