So here I am again... just few weeks later than I planned. I did mean to write after my last mini trip, but as we all know, time tends to fly and suddenly you realize that weeks have gone by.So what has happened? Well, I did go to see my friends and I did have a great time... I even went for a "swim" in the ocean, which doesn't happen very often, to tell you the truth. It was really refreshing, but nothing that I feel the need to do too often... I prefer to sit on the beach and just watch it (the ocean). It makes me calm and at peace. That's enough for me.
So once I was back, full of new-found energy, I decided that it was time to start finding a way to finance my big trip to the US of A. I started by checking my personal letter and CV... just to find out that it needed a full make over...Few weeks later and I have a new letter and a improved CV. I feel satisfied with my latest achievement, but the question is, is it enough? I mean, let's face the fact; I am over 40, I haven't finished my high school nor do I have any other proper education and no, I am not in my 20's any more... Plus I haven't been working for ages... or so it feels. So what are my chances to find a good work? The times are tougher and the jobs are fewer, which means that there are more people for every new job. I can only hope that A: things are going to change soon... B: the employers are looking for someone a little bit older and someone with experience. At least that is what I have... Experience...
Staying home and with little money in your pocket, can make anyone go insane.. That is if you have to stay that way for months or even years... In the end you feel that anything is better than that and you are prepared to take (almost) any job that comes along. So that is where I am at this moment... I am ready to take what ever might come along. I've been spending hours at the computer refining my CV and looking for a job... And as my applications fly into the cyberspace, I get more frustrated and worried that there are really no jobs for someone in my position.
And I am not only looking close to my home... I am practically looking everywhere! Cause I know that I might have to move. It's not my first hand choice but hey, it's something I need to do. Cause time IS flying by... So if not now, then when?
I've been spending to much time just thinking that I have enough time and that the right opportunity will eventually come along. But I guess that is not going to happen if I just stay here by my computer... Life is not going to come and knock on my door with an job offer or anything else for that matter ;O) It never has, it never will.
Until next, thanks for stopping by! Take care!
The restless vagabond.
