I've got the job searching blues..

I started to write a little blues ditty about my job searching failures..but then realized how silly it was and erased it to avoid humiliation. :)

One word to sum up my job/internship searching : Catch-22

To get EXPERIENCE (which is what I'm seeking so that I can GET that dream job in the fashion industry) I need a JOB...(notice I didn't say the $100,000 education I paid for)..

To get a JOB..you need EXPERIENCE...(again...apparently my education has no value to employers) ..umm...so...HOW do I get EXPERIENCE without a JOB and get JOB without EXPERIENCE?? The math is not adding up for me here and I feel like a damn dog chasing my own tail. And another thing..WHY did I go to college if it means nothing??

It's just sad that an educated, smart, energetic, self motivated person like myself (not to toot my own horn or anything :)) cannot find a job that is suitable. I DO NOT want to work retail anymore where I am treated like a 16 year old..because i AM NOT a 16 year old.

Seriously. I'm willing to do anything. I'm willing to take an unpaid internship and eat only Ramen for the next few years if that is what it takes. ( I better start experimenting with the Ramen now to get used to it!)
