Unemployed


Today is the first day that I have wanted to write anything since I left college. Ive been unemployed for 12 days now and cant find a job to save my life. Ive applied pretty much everywhere that I possibly could. "Sorry...we arent looking for anyone right now.." or "We are looking for someone with a little bit more.....experience...then you have." or "We are re-situating our structure and might be looking for people afterwards.....your application is good for 90 days, maybe something will pop up". You see I dont even need the manager to speak, because I can already tell by their lack of excitement/dull/uniform/uninterested body language that they dont even care. You see if college taught me one thing, that is to read people. There are three things I can tell right away when I meet someone, more importantly this is before they even speak a word. These being sexual orientation, personality, and if they are interested in me. (I apologize for the rant but I guess thats what a blog is for. I promise that im not using it soly for a place to demean society.) I just feel that this whole "unemployment epidemic" could be solved if employers just hired people. How could that be? well think about it, if every business hired atleast one person there wouldnt be anyone unemployed at all. Then people would be able to spend money and then the economy would actually fix itself. But instead my 4 years experience in the industry wasnt enough for a server position. Thats ok I understand that someone with two degrees is probably not able to perform the most basic tasks of a server. You know rolling silverware, filling salt and pepper shakers, asking someone if they needed more coca-cola. I guess those mundane tasks are to complicated. (I again apologize if this offended you, im not saying that im smarter then you, im just saying that almost anyone can be a server) OK....I feel a little bit better about myself now that I got this written down. All im saying is that everyone deserves a chance, so where is mine?
