apply apply apply!

i found something on a university website about putting 10 hours per week into looking for work. i don't know what the website databases are that are relevant for your geographical location but start putting in an hour or two every day or every second day...

to start with applications will take a while. eventually you will have different versions for different things and they won't take too much tweaking to send out another one.

i think part of the key is to get into the spirit of applying... just enough time into each one to get you some interviews... it is a time consuming business. don't get overly attached to any one.

one thing i'm learning is that often you won't get NOT because you couldn't do it competently, but they had another applicant who fit better. so... it really isn't personal. especially once you realize that half of the jobs you apply for you probably don't really want anyway...

if you get the applications out there then one of them will come through for you eventually. but it helps to MAKE it happen rather than sitting back and waiting for stuff to fall in your lap (sometimes life works like that but mostly not)
