So! Now we finally have internet (and cable! woot) in the flat, so I have absolutely no excuse not to update this thing in a more timely fashion.

I didn’t end up getting that dream job I wanted; undoubtedly one of the other candidates had a more extensive, more managerial-based resume with like six languages. It’s a curse, really. I know I could have done the job exceptionally well, but I’m lacking the experience … and I can’t get experience without getting a job. Bugger. It’s that whole double-edged sword thing.

I’ve been offered some jobs already, but none of them are particularly appealing to me, mainly because they entail exactly the same things as The Firm: compromising my morals in order to earn the company a buck. I won’t do that. And I’m not born to be a company-to-consumer salesperson. Working long hours for a commission is not my cup of tea.

So, I’ve been applying to some other places, and hopefully I’ll get a call back.

I am so bored with being unemployed. It’s great for a day or two, or even a week, but after that, my existence just feels pointless. Thankfully I’ve been keeping myself busy with studying Spanish - ‘cos, let’s face it, having had seven years of the language, it would be a waste for me to just forget it all - and for the life and health insurance exam, which perhaps could give me an extra edge over other potential candidates, if only because more certifications makes it look as though I’m more qualified to do stuff. Ha. That’s the hope.

Wish me luck. It’s a slow process.
