Another day drifts slowly past which has been utterly uneventful on the job side of things. It has now been a week since my last succesful communication with a company. I have applied for many jobs, some of which are quite realistic but have heard nothing.
It has me confused. My C.V now includes experience, my covering letter draws upon it, but my success rate has dropped. Perhaps I am now going for more jobs believing I have skills and experience but in reality this is not how the companies see it. Or maybe some big internet wormhole has been eating my emails.
I am used to rejections, the odd agency phone call and interviewing only ultimately to be disappointed. Nothing is unusual. It makes little sense, and I am not sure what can be done to rectify it. Maybe companies are becoming increasingly tired of writing rejections so now just ignore unsuccesful applications, or maybe I have been wrong about the jobs I thought looked realistic. Its hard to know for sure, but at least in my approach I will keep plugging away and spend a little more time on my jobs.

Another Rejection
Maybe I should have chosen bullshit...
Recieved an email this morning from the Admin job informing me my application has been unsuccessful. Wrote back requesting feedback as I tend to do but am not sure whether I will recieve it or whether it will be any good.
Job hunting can be intensely frustrating and sometimes you really can despair. This is one such case, the position as I read it could have been done by more or less anyone and I cannot even get that.
Its important at times like this to avoid self pity, loathing and general depression. They after all do not get you anywhere but this latest rejection has led me to really ask what I am doing wrong. What, if anything will help me break into the job market and start a career.
I also get my results this week. The strange thing is although I am looking forward to them and would really like a distinction for the hard work I put in last year I dont believe it will actually make a difference to my job hunt.
Once again I have to get myself up and focus on the next opportunity, still have not heard from JPA, and the potential of a volunteering opportunity still exists.
On the whole though I am looking forward to the Christmas holidays, a change of pace and a rest from doing nothing
