Not today it'll all make sense

Again. I am on a job hunt. One of my most hated life situations, right next to finding a roommate on short notice. Or on any notice for that matter. It's just a frusterating experience all together.

Not frusterating if you are my sister, who with no job experience could land herself a job as CEO because she has that "it" that "thing" that they all look for. She has that "whatever it is" syndrome. Why I couldn't have grabbed some of that out of the gene pool too will forever be a mystery.

I got the happy spunky love for life gene, and left all of the leftover essentials for mom and dad's unborn 4th child.

Me not being able to get a job is my fault though. I mean the whole reason I chose my major in college is because I wanted to LEARN how to do something new. Not because I wanted a career doing it. In my mind, choosing a major in college was to choose something you wanted to learn how to do really well. I don't know that I ever really wanted a job in Fashion. But guess what?

I HAVE A DEGREE THAT SAYS I DO!

So how do I explain that lapse of logical thinking to an employer. Because clearly I don't have attention to detail seeing as I went through my last 2 1/2 years of college studying what I wanted to be my HOBBY!

And obviously I can't multi-task because I could have easily declared a double major or even a minor in Music, Journalism, or Creative Writing.

I'm not a go getter or pro-active because the main reason I didn't declare another major or minor is because I was too lazy and didn't know how to go about doing it. So I didn't.

How do I put all of that on a resume? That would be the best looking resume ever.

Education: Well see I have an explaination for that...

I don't think I'd be able to explain myself away in the job interview either. "Uh Well. I just wanted to challenge myself and try something new." Aka...I didn't really understand the purpose of going to college...whoopsy.

Now what jobs am I applying for? You got it. Not singing, not writing, Fitness.

Someday it'll all make sense.
