So I have been out of work since mid-July. Every week I submit my resume and every week I have interviews and every week its the same old BS. I am so sick of dressing up fancy and doing the interview dance and all that BS. I am sick of the stupid questions and the obvisous answers. I am sick of being offered jobs that I obviously would never take! They say to me "you have an impressive resume and degree from____ we would like to offer you a job. heres your compensation $0."
Seriously I went to an a great school, I am a pro at interviewing, I have years of experience... Yet they still offer me NOTHING! I feel like saying "Ok well if you realize how great I am, then why are you kicking me in the face with that offer?" I am literally making more on unemployment then they are offering me! Seriously, lets go to work for 40 hours a week and get paid less then staying home doing whatever the hell I want!
I want to work close to home, but NH pays sh!t. MA pays MUCH better, but then I am sitting in traffic at least 10 hours a week and spending $100/week in gas because I drive a truck and motorcycle (but motorcycle season is nearly over). Even figuring in the gas and time, I get paid more in MA. Crazy right?
Sorry it is just so frustrating. I feel like all my efforts are wasted. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off not going to college. At least then, when they offer me nothing, it would be understandable!
