I ready an article this morning about the current bleak employment situation on this years labor day. One job for every six searchers, fifteen million unemployed Americans and a 10% jobless rate. Needless to say, this didn't do much for my morale. As a job seeker myself I can't even begin to explain how defeating it is to know that you stand very little chance. There are so many people out there looking right now and as a recent college grad, I know most of them have more experience than me. I'm trying to keep an open mind and a positive attitude but all labor day is nothing more than a frustrating reminder.
Me being a big bummer today could also have something to do with the fact that it is beautiful outside and I am sick, but I'm going to spread the blame around.
Enjoy your day off and remember to give thanks for the jobs we do have even if it isn't everything we want!

I went to a few interviews where I had to wear a dress shirt and tie...I've never felt more like a little kid dressing up in his dad's clothing and playing "grown-up."
