Thanks for sharing this, I am also on the job hunt and it is nice to know I am not alone. Wow! 13 interviews in three weeks, that makes me feel like I need to step up my game.

How sweet of your soon to be mother in law to surprise you with a gift. It's amazing what something like means when you are bummed.

Keep your spirits up, something good will happen!

It is most certainly tough out there with the job market. Thankfully having so much free time I can dedicate it to Tall In Indy. And with the Bartending I'm still bringing in some cash flow to keep up the groceries. Thankfully my Fiance takes pretty good care of me and is supper supportive,

Thanks for sharing Ashley. I wish you the best of luck in your job search. To help with your Jolly Shoes I went ahead and set you up with http://TallInIndy.com.

Hope that helps in giving you something to push your "Tall In Indy" brand. Right now I've got it pointing people directly to your group on TTSJ. But later on when you get your own website ready you can then make the URL go there. This way all the work you put into growing your brand today will continue to help you on later on when you've got a job and the economy picks up.

Thank you so much!! I ended up with an intense migraine last night and ended up out for that count. I appreciate that Cheyenne. :)

Yikes, migraines are horrible! I fought through one Sunday, it only got started and fortunately I was able to sleep out past it hitting full blown. Fortunately, the older I've gotten the less frequently I seem to have them. But they are dastardly. Have you seen the movie 'Pi'?

No but I just checked the IMDB trailers... I'll have to check it out. Any particular reference to the movie?

Well, I don't know if its all that great of a movie. Unless of course you are a math/number weird movie nut. The main thing is that it does a very good job of depicting what a migraine feels like. Its done by Darren Oronofsky, the same guy who did Requiem for a Dream. Both are shot in his unique sort of jump frame style to show different feelings. Req is probably the better if not more shocking/depressing movies.

Ashley,
I hire people for a living in all different positions. Sometimes the most subtle thing will turn off a potential employer. I have been semi slow lately, so let me know if I can help you out. I know the market is hard enough as is right now, but it is amazing the most professional and awesome people on paper that I interview in person who blow it! I am happy to help!!!!

Thank you Sam. I am still unemployed and interviewing with companies weekly. I was up until 6am this morning rewriting my resume and cover letter. I'm hoping that something turns up soon. I feel like I'm blowing it in the interviews. I have such a strong personality that I have to keep in check. It's really hard to do. I know that I am awesome and that if I was just given the chance to show my potential an employer wouldn't be disappointed.

I'm an event coordinator. I'm wanting to get back into it. I left the previous company I worked for of my own free will. Part of me regrets it because I miss the work. However, the people I could do with out.

I'm ranting... I'm starting to get really frustrated and discouraged. Maybe even a little depressed.

:(
