One App, One Job?
Sorry it has been a while. I have not been at my computer much over the past few weeks.
One of my friends, who will be graduating soon, called me over to his house the other day. Upon my arrival, he was quickly finishing up an application he was sending online, to a position he really wanted. All that day and over the next few days he talked a lot about how he was going to be at his dream job in the next few weeks, or at least before summer. Or, at the very least, at a lower level job in the same company ready to work his sweet was on up. Whether overly optimistic or just plain ignorant of his situation I could not tell, but he never really seemed to grasp that he may not get the job. If he did know, he hid it well.
It was funny to me at first. Funny until, well, I remebered that I was the same way, as well as everybody else I have ever known while they were searching for a first job. Yes, I remember handing in one application and then thinking up what I would tell the resteraunt the next day. I remeber doing that many, many times. Sure, it is easy for some. Just remember that there is a 98% chance that it won't come easy for you.

Isn't it great to have optimism? Isn't it great to have hope and blind faith? Couple those with determination and tenacity and you have an unstoppable job search that will not be derailed by virtually anything.
