More than anything in the world I absolutely hate idleness... I have never been the type of person who could allow myself to be complacent with their lot in life. Since childhood I have always strived to do my best at anything I try my hand at, to always put forth all my effort to improve whatever situation I found myself in. For the last year I have been unemployed for 8 out of 12 months. Which is really not my style. Not okay in my book. It has at time almost driven me to the edge of reason. I never really gave up looking for employment but I did allow my ambition to slow to a crawl. Constantly walking into interviews that I was qualified or even over qualified for, I was able to know within minutes weather or not I would be seriously considered for employment. And though in my heart I stayed positive, ignoring the confused looks of interviewers; in my head I knew that no matter how well I presented myself or how great my resume & references are, i would not be getting an invitation for employment.
And now in my last week of pregnancy, I am once again confronted with the hard truth of not only my family's financial situation but also of this city's economic situation. The fact remains that in this economic downturn, the job market is tight and employers are extra picky. But my hope is that they'll now see my determination and pick me.
