Working on my Life
If you ask me, what I am doing, I will always say that I am 'working on my life.' Because my life is an evolving process. Every since I got laid off from Jefferson County in June 2011, I have been working very hard to find decent employment that would allow me to pay may bills and maintain my standard of living. To say that it has been a struggle, is an understatement.
In retrospect, I know that I have applied for at least 1000+ jobs. I have probably been on 30 interviews. I have taken so many civil service exams that they should have a sheet with my name on it. But I remain focused. I have taken jobs that I was 'overqualified' to do simply because I needed to work. I have taken jobs that I don't like because I needed the money. I go through cycles in that once I get a job a take a break from the job search just to give myself a break from completing online applications and getting online rejections.
Some say that they don't see the progress. And to be honest, I really don't care what those on the outside see, because I know what I am doing to accomplish. So until I get that goal job, I will keep working on my life....
