Since I have moved over here in September 2009 I have been putting my CV (aka resume) out absolutely every where. I can't tell you how many jobs I have applied for. Over here in the UK most places you fill out an application online they have a test for you to take as well. I applied for a cell phone company for a customer service job and had to take a test equivalent to the SATs (for my British friends it is the equivalent of the GCSE's to get you into college). It was ridiculous. I spent an hour online applying and taking this test and was turned down. This rejection can have an affect on you after awhile. But most places don't even let you know anything after you apply.
Then I start to worry. I think are they looking at my CV seeing I am American and then putting it off to the side and saying No...will I ever find a job? I look at my CV and I am qualified to do office work and being a technical analyst. And I want a job where I get to use my brain. But right now there are so many people going for the same job..and I have a mark against me because I am an immigrant. And I am a bit disheartened by it. But I keep trying.
I am lucky in the respect that I have a little part time job 2 days a week and I sell avon. But hopefully sometime soon I will find a job and finally have something to keep me busy and let me feel like I am contributing.
I am not going to let it depress me.. I am going to make it all work out..if I can't find anything maybe I will become a stripper or 1-900 operator hehehe
