Job Fairs...

Job fairs are awful... I just spent three hours at one that I saw on the news. Me and 700 other people who were all there trying to to get just one of the 75 jobs available. It's frustrating. We all had our resumes printed, we were all dressed in our best clothes, and none of us got anything. Out of 25 resumes that I printed, I only gave out 3. Three employers were interested in contacting me at a later date, I partially think that is only because I was so persistent.

I'm slightly discouraged. I did get a website for almost every company that was represented though and I intend to post my resume to every one of them and send it in to any email addresses that I picked up today as well. I will get another job. I will not continue working at Walmart for the rest of my life.

On another note, my fourteen month old is learning the art of falling as I type this. He refuses to walk, although I have no doubt that he can when he's ready, so Gary and I keep standing him up in the center of the room where there's nothing he can hold on to. He stands until he realizes we're not holding, then he gracefully falls to the floor.

Well, I'm off to do some yardwork.
