WELL... it has been 2 months since the big lay off, and although our last day isn't physically till next week, I have been aggressively job hunting for the last two months. Literally the night I was laid off.... I was out there applying on job posts!
I almost feel entitled, like... a chick that wants a job this bad, and not sit on her ass and collect unemployment ( like many people have suggested) - I ought to find something fast! And not to mention ( and literally... trust me, I will not embarrass my job like that- not to mention the name) but I am coming from a VERY REPUTABLE spot ... job title, and company. I feel any other similar brand or competitor should want me.....
but instead... no body does really.
I don't get it.
It's kinda like in 9th grade, when I didn't make the cheerleading squad. Like... why the eff not? why wouldn't you pick me ?? I would be perfect for the role of a cheerleader, being that I had cheered the last 7 years of my life and choreographed most of the dance routines on national winning teams in which I belonged.... but no... there I was.. crying over the fact that I couldn't change the opinion of the LIST that was posted on the gym door that day. I just wasn't on it. I spent that year pretty bummed that I didn't make cheerleading, but I did however try out in 10 grade, and make it. I went on to then be the Varsity captain and ... let's just say, most of the girls who made it in 9th grade, (well all but 1) no longer belonged.
Moral of the story... aggressively, keeping on my game, on the hunt, fearless, (reminding myself of that daily) and pushing till someone /some company does want me. I may not be the first pick in May of 2013. but you can bet your bottom dollar by friend, I will be the first round draft pick going into 2014. (And you can quote me on that crap!)
#BOOM!
