Job Hunting

Squinting against a dull headache, I am going listless on job hunting. The future seems an uncharted path filled with insecurities. Why do employers ask for experience when they know that you have been imprisoned in the halls of Universities for four damn years? . The internal war between my mind and my heart is escalating now. The heart is telling me that things will get better and that one of these companies will respond with an offer, but the mind on the other hand is telling me that time is running out. My graduation ceremony is down to forty-three days (Insha-Allah). The fact is that I don’t have any job waiting for me. This clearly sends adrenaline through my veins every morning. I am cringing inwardly and may be cursing the Bush administration for taking the country into the wrong direction. Every day in the news they state that the economy is improving and that jobs have been added to the economy. Where are these jobs? Why do I get rejections on my inbox indicating that I don’t have enough experience? I do not believe in the numbers that the media are propelling in my direction.

Sometimes posting your resume in Monster.com helps. Two years back when I was looking for a second job I did the monster.com thing on a whim. Two days letter I got a phonecall from AETNA healthcare systems asking me to come in for an interview. Couldn't hurt could it?
