Someday...Somewhere...

I spent the majority of the day sending Cv's to a great variety of corporations. Greater variety than I had hoped for. (Even entry level positions after 15 years of work experience.)

Job search is a painful process. Sending a millions resumes is like screaming in a nightmare. Noone hears you no matter how you try. Your struggles are fruitless. Not a phone call. Not even a simple thank-you-we-received-your-cv  e-mail. Come on now!

Honestly, I enjoyed being unemployed more in the nineties. At least  the companies had the decency to get back to you in some way or another. I remember very clearly being rejected by Coca Cola and CNN (Atlanta head quarters). They had manners.

Last but not least, how come anyone is supposed to gain local experience when no local firms give you the benefit of a doubt because you have no local experience!
