I&#8217;ll try to crank them them all out soon. Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been most recently on my mind:<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting to think that the blog migration from my previous site to this current one was a mistake. These next few posts are probably going to be about complaints I have about the professional scene, the industry, and growing up in general. Which makes me a little worried that a hiring manager will see this and immediately be turned off. I suppose I should remove that link from my website.<\/p>\n<p>But really, why is there so much harm in complaining about things I don&#8217;t like about this industry that I&#8217;ve chosen? It&#8217;s not like everything is fine and dandy in every industry on the planet. Even the people who absolutely love their jobs have complaints from time to time. There&#8217;s no perfect place to be because there are no perfect people in the world.<\/p>\n<p>If didn&#8217;t already know, I&#8217;m between jobs. I&#8217;m having a tough time finding a new job, now, because I have too little experience to be considered for anything at a junior level (which, for some reason, requires something like five years of experience) and too much experience to be considered for an entry-level position or internship. It&#8217;s so hard not to become discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the interview process is honestly pretty silly to me. I&#8217;d much rather do a test run where I can prove myself in the position than be asked a few questions up-front about things I won&#8217;t be using for the job. I can prove my worth. Just let me show you&#8211;take a chance and pull the trigger. People have told me that I should still respect the interview process but I still don&#8217;t think I agree.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I&#8217;ll still be applying for jobs, pretending I don&#8217;t hate the process. Practicing, studying. Working on my hobbies, listening to music. Sitting, waiting. Wishing.<\/p>\n<p>See you later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I missed my post in April.
