So today started off like all the others. Eyes wide open and ready for anything. Right off the weather stopped me from going somewhere I needed to go. So it was back to hitting the keyboard and sending our resumes and applications.
It's getting frustrating because jobs in my industry are just not there. So, I have applied to places that I probably wouldn't have looked at if I wasn't getting to the critical point. I have been turned down by Best Buy, Fry's, Home Depot, Lowes, and probably 50 electric/electronic distributors. That is just the last 10 days. I've been turned down by HP, Dell and other computer manufacturers as well.
After 2 years I am now thinking my age has a lot to do with not securing employment. It isn't my work history for sure. I was at my last place one month short of 13 yrs. I was laid off because my boss says "I need to give myself a raise and can't do it with you here."
So, that's it for today. Time to let the eyes get a little rest.
