Entry about nothing...except not

Today was more of the same. Look for jobs, unpack, wait anxiously for my phone to ring asking for an interview. So far, nothing.

But I haven't given up hope. I read on some website somewhere about some methods people use to find jobs. It also lists the effectiveness of each one. Turns out that posting your resume online has only a one percent effectiveness rate. I KNEW it!

I even called one guy on it today. I asked him for a paper application, and he tells me, "We do all our referals online." I told him, "I prefer to fill out paper applications. I know that people are more likely to look at those." He says, "That's not our policy." So I left. See, what with filters and everything, it's all to easy for an online application to be ignored. But if you fill out a paper one, it is more likely to be looked at. At least, I think so.

The method that the website recommends is face-to-face interviewing of people working there about the company, followed by a personal chat with the person with the power to hire you. Hmmm...a bit labor-intensive. But in my boat, I'm willing to try anything that will help.

Watch out world, here I come!
