The Weekend.

So my weekend of sorting my life out went something along the lines of:


Saturday
Procrastination, switch computer on, procrastination, procrastination, procrastination....sleep.


Sunday
Procrastination, procrastination, email people until my mind becomes numb, procrastination, sleep.


So all-in-all it was sort of productive...sort of...


Of the emails I sent I got ONE reply back. Granted all it was saying was that they didn't have any vacancies blah, blah, blah. But the fact that they replied meant alot as at it was some sort of acknowledgment that I exist in the world!


So in conclusion, my weekend of sorting my life out was a bit of a waste. I had forgotten how depressing job searching actually is.


In retrospect however I felt  a bit aimless when searching through the vast, brain-engulfing entity that is otherwise known as the world wide web. Though I had made a list of companies to send emails to; which had, at first, seemed long, I quickly found myself at the end of said list and began googling nonsensical things like:




 Safe to say, that these sorts of searches didn't really yield the results that I had been expecting, such as:
  • Astronaut: only 5 GCSE's needed
  • Time Traveller: Must be well informed about all four series' of Mad Men
  • I can't even think of a third suggestion because these jobs don't exist! Let's all, however, pretend that it would have been hilarious...
What does come up are various websites spouting advice on how to find a job. Read it if you want to, any advice is good advice right now.


I haven't even got any sort of rule that I have learnt about this weekend! Therefore like my weekend today's blog entry is empty, inconclusive and unsure of what's going on.


But still the battle for finding a job continues. Unrelenting as always.

  1. This is just so spot on it's uncanny. More people, recent graduates especially (as well as job searchers the world over), need to be reading this!
