Adios

Bye for now. My life is boring now and since my blog was about my life, it is boring, too.

I'll be back when shit picks up.

Mr. Telephone Man, There's Something Wrong with my Line

I mean, there's gotta be because my phone has not been ringing with any jobs offers. This has never happened to me before; I've ALWAYS been able to get a job. We can blame it on the economy, but really, I don't think that's entirely true. On any given day, I can check facebook and another friend is talking about an interview they are going on or a new job they are about to start. So really, it's not that companies aren't hiring, it's that they're not hiring me.

It seems to be about who you know and not WHAT you know. If I was one of the fortunate ones to have some awesome connections, I'd be thinking that this was a great thing. But alas, I am not.

The two most annoying question I get asked are:
  1. "are you actively looking for a job?" Ummm no. I'm not. I've been hoping that an HR manager will get a sign from God that Danielle is looking for a job. A burning bush, perhaps, or frogs raining from the sky. No active participation on my part required.
  2. "are you applying for ones that you are qualified for?" Nope. I'm only applying for the CEO position with Sony Music. Everything else is beneath me.
Clearly, I am looking for pretty much anything that will pay me in American monies. Now, do I want to work the graveyard shift at 7-11 for $8.50/hour? No. Obviously I need a job that makes it worth my while to get up and go to. Meaning, I need a job that will let me pay my bills. But am I above being a secretary? Not at all.

In conclusion, I am still looking for a job. Holler.
