If I hadn't said persistance was one of my strengths, I would have given up already :)

I still don’t have a job.

Frankly, I’m over looking for one too. Should I admit that out loud? It’s true though. I had to force myself to sit at the computer tonight and look for jobs. I’m not upset about it…just sort of ambivalent. How many “all that’s stopping you is your fear of cold calling” job postings can one girl read in her lifetime? Last week I lucked out because my three job contacts were all related to the two interviews I had last Wednesday. Yep two different companies got to see my interview suit.

I like interviewing. It’s fun to see how if I can make them like me. I’m a middle child – it’s one of our core competencies. Interviewing is pretty fun. Plus I am finding that I may finally be past the point in your career where the interviewers as you about your five year plan. Yeah – I’ve never had a good answer for that question. I’m still interested in both companies although one called me the next day to schedule another interview this week. So far in terms of who likes me best, they win. I’ll keep you posted.

As for tonight’s job search…I am now looking for jobs that make me say to my husband “hey honey…listen to this one”. My top four:
1) Driving a milk route and selling milk and dairy products to home. Do people still do that? Dairy folks get up too early for my taste.
2) Another one says that they are hiring “arborists only” and then later in the posting “no knowledge of trees required”. I can climb trees though and apparently it pays well to do that!
3) My favorite – the listing says “Skeptics need not apply”. Seriously, this one is going to be awesome. The entire website is pictures of this guy at all of these vacation spots, in front of some fancy cars AND includes a shot of a bill from a restaurant where apparently he can eat all the time because he’s made it rich working for himself from home. He must not have had to go through the eight pages of his own website to get the secret…it was too ridiculous to continue.
4) Good news…Little Caesars Pizza wants me (someone should)
