The Most Dreadfull Thing Known To Me

Job Hunting

So, once again, I'm on the job Hunt. Job Hunting has to be top 3 of the most dreaded things I must go through in life! In my personal Hell I would have to watch Bring It On over and over and over, go Shopping for days, and JOB HUNT! lol. I've put together the top 7 reasons job hunting is soooo terrible. Hope you enjoy!! :)

1. Looking-Sitting in front of a computer for hours on end looking at different job web sites might be your idea of fun but it surely isn't mine! lol. The stupid search fields on the Internet don't even work! If I was to put in SLC, UT as the location & Clerical/Administration as the search criteria, do ya wanna know what I'm going to get??? Park City, Ogden, maybe even St. George as the area & secret shopper criteria! lol-How the hell does that match what I entered! Or even worse is looking in the Sunday News Paper! Circling jobs, writing fax numbers or e-mail address down, and getting black ink all over your fingers! LAME-O!

2. Sending Resumes-After sending so many stinkin' e-mails I'm the idiot that sometimes forgets to attach my stinkin' resume! And then I don't necessarily want to send a potential Employer a 2ND e-mail that says "Hey, I'm an assbag and I forgot to attach my resume! I swear I'm normally really detail oriented!" lol. I hate faxing resumes as well though. Most companies want a cover page...well what if I'm applying for 40 jobs...I guess I'll just kill 40 trees! Seriously, faxing isn't too bad unless your using a fax machine that was made in 1995 and takes a freakin' hour to send 1 fax! <---Yes, I know from experience! Now the absolute worst type of sending is snail mail. I mean you really want me to SNAIL MAIL in a resume? I might as well just skip those considering they might not get it for a week! lol

3. Setting Up Interviews-Not really much to say about this other than it's a HUGE pain in my butt!

4. Getting Ready For An Interview-Ugh, I hate getting ready for interviews! I'm never really sure what to wear. Now, let me paint a picture for you of my most recent appearance:

Back in January I chopped my curly hair off super super short and straightened it every day. Well, now it's grown out to a little longer than shoulder length and it pretty much looks like crap straight or curly! lol-Curly, I look like I'm eh, maybe 15 & straight, I look like I just straightened an extremely curly hair do! My good friend/hairdresser Lindsay put screaming BLOND panels in my hair about 2 months ago and I didn't keep up with them so now I have fried curly brown hair with grown out blond in it! And for the last detail of my god awful ugly appearance...I have a lip ring STUCK in my lip! lol...maybe know u can understand why I hate getting ready for interviews!

5. Interviewing-Now there are two types of interviews companies like to do now-a-days: Phone Interviews & Regular 'ol Interviews. Phone interviews are interesting. Sometimes the Interviewer will just get to know ya and see if they like your personality enough to invite ya to a real interview. And sometimes they ask you a bazillion crazy questions that your really not sure how to answer...FUN TIMES! Regular interviews are ones that I prefer but don't necessarily enjoy. I was once asked in an interview to sell them my least favorite veggie?! lol. I tend to clam up, get really sweaty palms (not the most attractive thing when you shake the employers hand!!), and give the stupidest answers to their questions!

6. 2ND Interviews-You might say "Wait a minute Cait, 2ND interviews are great! That means they are interested in you!" But I would beg to differ! A 2ND interview is just that...a 2ND interview. It doesn't guarantee you a spot with the company nor does it mean that they YOU are the person they will hire! 2ND interviews all in all are just kinda deflating!

7. The Waiting Game-This is by far the worst part of Job Hunting! Ya might think you did great in an interview. You might really, really want the job! But the words "Well, we have a few more interviews that we need to do but we'll call you by the end of the week" make me cringe! The worst is when companies say they'll let ya know by the end of the week and then NEVER contact you back.

All-In-All, job hunting is just deflating, depressing, and kinda ruins your self-esteem! So if any of you bloggers out there just want to hand me a job on a silver platter...please feel free to contact me! ;)
