Re: New OOC per Rory's request
Good morning Zoey. ^_^
*Hugs all*
I have also been unemployed and still maintain that the only thing worse than working is looking for work. Unfortunately, the only advice that I can offer is that applications and interviews are all about spin, story telling and roleplay. Personally, I think that it's a really bad system as it doesn't get the best person for the job and gives an unfair advantage to people with specific personality types but then again I don't make the rules.
In the end, I was lucky and got a few jobs that have given me skills that now make me very employable (I somehow ended up becoming a statistician even though it wasn't what I originally trained for). Unfortunately, it is also making it harder to move back into the area of work that I would like to enter (as getting jobs in the area requires a lot of ongoing background work which can't really be done when you are in full time employment).
