Well, today was supposed to be day one for "The Big Job Hunt", but I didn't go anywhere. Ah, what can I say? I chickened out. Well, that and a host of other very well-thought-out excuses, but I won't waste the bandwidth. I'm scared. Period

Maybe you need to read this book.

I'll say a prayer for ya.

[daveb]

Lol! I'll take that into consideration! I think we have that around here somewhere.

That's EXACTLY what my Dad told me when I talked to him last night! ;)

I know your in the same boat as me

I think it's interesting how we do this to ourselves. You've mentioned on here and you've sent me your resume once before. From my perspective, I think your resume is really really good but that part of your consciousness makes you think you have no skills. I find myself *sort-of* looking down on certain people I know or see to help boost my ego about the skills I don't think I have, buit that doesn't work much either. It hard for me to think you'll have trouble finding a job with the many things (I think) you've done and the places you've been (as oppose to my resume which is just basics and no Bachelor's).

You are always in my prayers and I hope something turns up really nice.

Thank you! Yeah, it's a problem I have with always comparing myself to other people. Well, that and just common nervousness. I talk to other people in the IT industry and it makes me feel like I know absolutely nothing. The right job will come along someday.

I hope you are successful in your searches today. I know all too well how intimidating the job hunt can be. Just try to remember that you DO have marketable skills and better then that, you have remarkable work ethics and a good personality which will get you far these days. I've got you on my mind and in my prayers today...Good Luck doll!

Thank you! :) I really have to stop being so negative. I'm sure that will show in an interview.

[rikki5050]

I dunno know about THAT but I DO know that if you go in there POSITIVE, that WILL show through. =)
How'd it go?
