Busy nothings
My life has become a "quick succession of busy nothings" (Reference from Mansfield Park). I am keeping busy doing my part-time work, searching and applying for environmental consulting jobs, yoga, dancing, Amazing Race, reading, visiting friends, movies, Xmas shopping, and chores. There have been a few highlights recently including a Brian Keating talk at the Zoo and a colobine monkey conference at the UofC. My mom's 50th birthday was last weekend too! At least keeping busy has given me less time to get discouraged about the job search and how long it's taking! I guess people really have a hard time thinking outside the box and believing in someone who doesn't quite have the job experience. I just want to tell them that I'm not an idiot and I can actually learn all this stuff! Isn't that the point of a junior position anyway?

Don't worry, love. You are part of the majority who have trouble landing that first job. It will happen, though, if you can somehow manage to keep from getting discouraged! I'm there for you, too!
Keep hangin' in there! You would make a great addition to any company. I know it's really frustrating looking for work, and now is a hard time to do it. The end of the year seems to be slow for consulting, as clients run out of this year's allotment of money and are waiting for next year's budget to kick-in. Some smart employer will eventually realize how awesome you are and give you a chance. Just keep having faith in yourself.
