Job Hunt
Looking for a job is exciting... for a while. Making a resume, getting phony emails and funky interviews all kind of suck, but the actual cat and mouse game of seeing what you can get feels a lot like gambling to me. The thing I need to constantly remind myself is that I have the advantages and the aces up my sleeves. I don't NEED to work for X corp, X corp will not make me a happier person, I will not die if I don't get hired at X corp. I am a person first, a professional second, and everything else works itself out nicely... at least when it comes to getting a job. I have a feeling the desperation is what drives many people into situations job-wise that are below them, non advantageous, and static. Some people get lucky or just have enough experience to get in to an established company that is non-static and progressive, and I plan on being one of those people. I'm a lucky guy. All the time.
