How exhausting is to look for a job!!

How exhausting is to look for a job!!
I know it is an advantage to look for a new job when you are currently employed. But what about all the:

  • work during the day, and sit in front of the pc when you get home to look for jobs (when your brain is almost without battery)
  • all the advises from people (for example: Do it like this… ; You should never say that….; Change this in your Cv…; It’s all about attitude; etc)
  • pick up a call from a recruiter agency while you are in the office (run to the toilet, to the street, anywhere you can hide) and then you are worried about your manager find it out, so you speak quietly (almost whispering) when you should sound with authority and self confident on the phone to the agent as he is the first filter …
  • Everyone asking you: how is it going? have you heard anything?… more pressure.
  • Missing HIM…. a lot!!
  • And after the calls, the Skype interviews, and an interview with the company (on my 30’s Bday) and with a terrible cold. Here I am, waiting for the call. And if after all this you don’t get the job, you will have to continue with the job searching….
  • I know waiting on the phone for romantic reasons is great, sexy, stressful and it can be a disaster. But when you are expecting a call for job offer is just F_cking consuming!! (all I want to know: have I got it or not???)
  • To Be Continued…

Hello World, or should I say Hello Cyber World?

I can’t believe I am going to do this but here I am. I have decided to create my own blog, to tell how I see the world around me. I need to say that I am a Spanish girl who lives in Dublin, and that I am planning on moving to London.

So I am going through all the looking for jobs, which means sending hundreds of Cvs and getting just a few replies. And the interviews, first with the recruitment agencies and later, if you are lucky, with the actual company you are applying for.

And not only that, but HIM has already got a new job and has left Dublin. And let me tell you how difficult is to sleep on your own when you are used to … not to.

I have to say that It is hard and difficult to look for a new job when we are in the middle of an global financial crisis …. I need a new job soon!!!
