I always have disliked the task of trying to find a job. You send your résumé out en masse so that you may be judge solely on a piece of paper. After that you have to sit through a thoroughly stressful interview in which you are continually plied by questions about this or that type of situation and how you handled it. Worse yet is the uncertainty about what you’ll do for a job. Ya gotta make that money and nobody likes no knowing from where that money is going to come. I really have no right to complain, though. I’ve been extraordinarily lucky when it comes to employment. I’ve never stayed out of work for long and have gotten decent to good jobs when I’ve hooked on someplace. I consider it divine guidance. God’s looking our for me. So knowing how hard it is for some very experienced and very qualified people to find employment, I, a philosophy major relatively fresh out of college, hardly have the place to whine.
