Last week I felt really motivated and I was posting a lot and taking a lot of photos, this week, I just feel kind of flat. It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the get-up-and-go required to sustain a job hunt of this length.
I understand the need to possibly settle for less than I want but I also wonder how bad of me it is to not want to settle. I have begun to wonder what those who are perhaps following my ongoing job hunt think of me, Boots won't even call me back. I haven't even been able to get any freelance work, but I have tried less and less as time has gone on. I don't even know where the time has gone and despite my summer travels, everything just feels like one massive, rude reality check.
I don't know how difficult it is for companies to simply respond to emails with a 'we got this' confirmation, a real one, just so you know that you're actually getting through to someone. I may have applied to my dream job this week, but they won't even answer the phone to confirm. I'm much better on the phone than I am in emails.
I just want a break and I want to be happy.
I promise I'll stop being 15 soon and post something nice.
Have you tried using LinkedIn for work? I made a profile, searched for jobs and within 2 weeks had 3 interview offers and now start a new job next week. It is really really useful as a tool and will 100% change the way you think about the media industry. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI have LinkedIn, but some people are luckier with some social media platforms than others. I've found LinkedIn less useful than even Twitter. I think it would be a good idea for me to take a couple of days off from it all, may be a defeatist way to look at things but at least it will give me some time to calm down and work on my portfolio - something I actually want to do.
