PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE dont get mad at me for hounding you all on long distance job search tips.
You know I’m not above asking questions, in fact I rather enjoy it and I don’t want to give this a half-hearted try so be patient with me.
Ive been on Monster, hotjobs, careerbuilder, southfloridaworkforce, miamidade.gov and so many more places posting my resume its ridiculous. I have gotten some contacts but I need more stability than a sales position would allow although I think I would be great given a product that I actually liked, like media sales. Can’t do the commission thing though.
In my search I found this article about young people in the workforce that I thought was interesting. Read it.
It also led me to another site you may enjoy. Its called Quarterlifecrisis.com Its all about people just like me, finally getting done with school and and looking around thinking, “Is this what I did all that struggling for?”
I know its hard to remember dreaming about the magical day you become a grown-up. We were in such a hurry to grow up and finally be able to do what we wanted to do.
Sigh.
What a surprise…What we want to do has nothing to do with what we are actually doing.
I saw my friends Rick and Mike yesterday, we all met when I was just 18 years old. They both looked great! They are both building their first homes in Jacksonville as a result of successful careers in pharmaceutical sales. Mike is about to turn 27 this summer. When I reminded him of his old age he looked at me and said, “How did this happen?”
I dont know dawg. I dont know. This growing old thing is like a marble on a long, winding staircase, it just wont stop. And all we can do is hold tight and hope the bumps don’t break us.
Stay tuned.
