Thanks, but no thanks
There is something disheartening about receiving job rejections letters. Even if you applied for the job half-heartedly, or it was a job you really didn't want. Just the fact that they rejected you gets you down.
I seem to have accumulated quite a collection of these recently. A collection which is growing steadily by the week and shows no immediate signs of ceasing. I guess I should throw them out, but for some reason, best known to the inner part of my brain that I am scared to question, they get bunged in a folder and kept.
They're not just from IT jobs. They cover a wide range of subjects, although yes, most are IT related. The non IT ones I expect knock backs from. It seems tough to make a change, as any of the well paying non-IT jobs generally require experience in the field, and the non high paying (less skilled?) jobs claim that you're over qualified for the position.
Rejections from the IT jobs are worse. Especially ones you know you could do in your sleep but don't even get an interview for. Yes, that's probably cause I'm big-headed and I did go through a period of being offered every job I applied for. Typically, that was when I didn't really need a job and now that I am desperate to change I seem to be surplus to requirement.
Still, that doesn't mean I shall be giving up. I have applied for 5 jobs this week already, of which 1 is non-IT related and appears to be quite interesting.
Damn this money lark, eh?

But enoughy about your crappy website javascript problems.
I see you've almost borken through the 200miles barrier. But the question is can you achieve speeds of 88mph? And what's your jiggawat output?
Also 80% of jobs applied for are in IT, what's that all about for a guy who doesn't want to work in the Computeration Field?
I've checked and re-checked the stats and they still say 80%.
I personally with all that whinging you would make an execllent critic, just what specific field?
Food, music? Andy-bashing? (Oh yes, Neil like to bash Andy!)
No tickets left for the cricket, very unfair, it's just not cricket, no wait....
And then you save up all the letters, are you some sort of fffreakshow? Maybe you crave rejection?
The other possibilty of course is that you compete in the tour de france and kick Lance Armstrongs butt!
Or become a messenger dood to whizz about office with big round tubes that I suspect to be full of oversized hula hoops.
Or go back to unemployment you were good at that, can you swing the whole free mortage thing again?
Over and outski!
