Isn't job searching the worst? I've been looking for 8 months and still haven't found anything. Oh, I guess that's not entirely true. I've applied to almost a dozen jobs in my profession, but I have only had 3 interviews, two of which were taken by fellow graduates and one I never heard back from. The rest of the applications have gone unanswered. A simple "sorry we're not interested" would suffice, but still nothing. Part of the issue, I believe, is the area that I'm looking in. My husband and I own a home and he has a fantastic job, so we're definitely not moving, and with the economy, I don't want to drive too far, so I have a very small area in which I can find a job (about a 30 mile radius or so).
I am so bored with the mundane job that I currently have (and have had since I was a junior in high school!). I'm willing right now to take a similar position but in a different field, preferably in health care, where I may be able to gain networking connections and eventually find a full time position as a dietitian. Luckily, I do know a dietitian who is pregnant with twins and about to go on maternity leave for a few months, so I'll get to take over her job, but only temporarily and only 2 days a week. -sigh-. Are any of you struggling with finding a job? The economy is terrible right now. And the sad part is that I would love to be able to be a stay at home mommy (eventually once we have a baby) but we just can't manage to make my husband's salary work for some reason, which we really should be able to. We're cutting back everywhere we can think of. Are you making one income work? Are you a SAHM? What tips and tricks do you have for making one income work?
Oh, did I mention that I have school loans about to start having to be paid next month and hubby needs a new car? Uggggh.
