Hi,

I'm feeling really crappy and I just wonder if I would be good enough in getting a job after I graduate. I know it is a long way, but, I need a job, since I'm finishing at the second week of April. Already, I've been rejected from a job opportunity which I know a lot of. They don't even give me a chance for an interview, but it's okay to call me to see what my pay expectations were which was $25,000-30,000 start. I know that I would be getting a lot more rejections, but I called them to find out. Then, I'm thinking, maybe i should of called them earlier, and now, my mother may just blame me for not calling sooner. Maybe she is right, I won't get a job. Maybe I'm underqualified as well. I don't know. I just need to get this out of my system. For some reason, I felt that I would of been good for this organization which was "Junior Achievement", it's where you have high school kids in business programs signing up to participate in this after school once or twice an evening program where they learn to set up their own business from scratch. It's a great experience since I went through it myself. That's what hurts the most, but again, I know I will be rejected with other job offers, it's life, I know. Why do I hurt so much then????????? I don't get it!

Anyway, thanks for letting me to let this out. Thanks for listening...Kristina

Giggles,

I know how you feel, I have basically devoted my being to getting a good job and being financially stable. I was actually there a couple weeks ago, thinking I was doing well, actually working at a job in my field, and then they called me up to the conference room and just like that, they let me go, after relocating up here and everything. After it happened, I just did not want to exist. I almost hate to tell you this because of the outcome but like me, if you're persistent, it will pay off, and when you do get that job, hopefully, not like me, they'll see your potential and keep you there, where you keep being paid. It's a scary thing and I'm in the process of looking for a job right now too because I want to stay here, though I hardly know anyone except the people I worked with, and don't really hear from them anymore. Maybe it's awkward, I don't know.Anyway, I'm lonely and depressed half the time now which is why I'm here! By the way, love the name!

And if you really want something, go for it! I still believe I'll find the job I want, I just have to make sure I don't sign on with people as unprofessional as I did the last time, key word being the LAST time I ever do that again!
