Job Search

I don't really have much to say on this topic, but I want to write about something and all of my other blog ideas require a fair amount of thought. I just want to pass on something I learned about the job search today.

We all know the process sucks, especially if you don't know anybody that can or will help you out. I haven't been working all that hard to find a job, for better or worse (better because I have loads of free time, worse because my days of having a place to live a dwindling quickly). However, my frustration with not finding a job is pretty high. Unjustifiably so. A friend suggested we meet up and go through the search process together. Turned out to be a top notch idea.

We traded info and ideas. Brainstormed various approaches. Commiserated. It was good stuff. My attitude shifted dramatically and I feel as though there are paths before me that weren't there previously.
So there you go. My advice for the job hunt is to find someone in a similar situation and join in the search. It passes time and helps a lot. I guess the only hurdle is that you can't be proprietary over any of the positions. It's all about support. Employment, here I come!!! (maybe).
