Job Hunting

I have found what can be the most depressing thing to do during the Christmas season, job hunting. I know I have so much to be thankful for and I truly am. I do however wish that a job would magically land in my lap.

I know, I’m dreaming and I promise that I will stop whining, now. I did not realize that over the last decade that the job search had changed so much. You no longer go into a place and apply for a job. Yes, it wasn’t like that a decade ago but it’s even worse now.

I applied for a remote position the other day and I had to talk to an AI interviewer for a 15 minutes. Now, you don’t just have an interview and get the job. You have to interview at least twice and that might get you in the door for the possibility of the job.

I’ve had so many interviews over the last month and a half it’s enough to make a person feel unqualified even when you’re over qualified. I need a Christmas miracle.

One a positive note, my children are having a great time with mom being home. More time with my kids is never wasted.
