Some surprising insights may have come to you over the past few days, WOLVEN. Through connecting with your family and loved ones, you might have learned something about yourself that can give you an important piece of the puzzle. You might realize that there is something in your character that you would like to change. Or maybe you will be seeing how you could achieve much more in your life if you only apply yourself better.

Moxy Früvous - [Fell In Love]--- That said, i need work. I need to find a job, and do you know the odd thing? I've never been hired for a job Solely on my merits. I've always had someone on the inside, to shuffle me into the view of those in position to get me work. (Carmina Burana - [Reie]). After that, however, it was very easy to convince them to hire me. I have skills, i have qualifications, and i can talk to people. I can convince anyone that i'm anything they want, of me, because i can be. That, and i can make them want That i Be Myself, as i'm naturally inclined to being. (Res - [They Say Vision]). It's odd. But i have to have someone, there, already, to vouch for me. Apparently, i don't look too good on paper.

So my plans, in that respect, are this: From now on, when i turn in an application, i turn it in To a hiring manager. I speak with them, at length, about certain things. Ask for a call-back, regardless of the nature of it, negative or positive. Ask to be told Why. Because that's the thing that mystifies me... I'll show you my resume, sometime... It's not unimpressive. Not overly Grand, but not bad, for someone my age. Do they think i'm Lying? Maybe that's it... Hm. I don't know. Whatever it is, it needs to be further understood, and corrected, for the future. Beause i'm tired of not getting jobs on my qualifications.

I'll see you all later. Gute Nacht.

Dream Well

Good luck!

That seems a good idea. Badger them till they succumb to giving you a valid reason! I often get frustrated with the same. I am trying to apply for part-time positions here, they say they'll call me - and so far no one has - and it was the same over the summer (till I got a job via someone I knew and no forms were necessary)! It's so irritating when you spend ages filling in a form the way they want etc. I think interviews are so much better, infromal ones especially. The real person is what counts I feel. A bit of paper is so mis-leading and souless to some eyes. Anyways, a pet hate of mine me thinks! *stops ranting* ;)

I agree, which is why i hate filling out applications, and handing them to someone who may or may not have anything to say about my being hired. If i were to talk, directly, to someone with the authroity to help out.. well, it'd be all good.
