That’s right guys. It’s not happening. The picture below (today’s picture) illustrates what I am about to say next.
I didn’t get the job at HMR. I was so pumped and felt really good about it, but I didn’t make it to the next phase. I appreciated the nice phone call to let me know. But, it wasn’t nice to hear that I had a pretty perfect interview and was exactly what they wanted – but they couldn’t hire me because I have no work experience.
So now what? How do I find work experience when no one is willing to hire me? I’ve almost exhausted all of my options. That’s two dream jobs now that have escaped from me. Two jobs that strung me along for too long, only to decline me at the last minute. I’m tired of being almost good enough for these jobs. Does that mean I’m almost cut out to be a Health Educator? Does this mean I need to reconsider?
I’m not trying to give up, but I feel like something’s gotta give. It’s back to the drawing board. Back to finding more options. Back to writing millions upon millions of cover letters. Back to chasing a job that will hopefully pay enough for Phillip and I to have our own place come June.
Sorry for the debbie-downer entry. I just needed to vent. Starting fresh tomorrow. Hopefully something great will come up… Hopefully…

Work experience is something that gets everyone in the end, if you ask me... You've just got to find the right employer who'll look past that and see you for the great job candidate you are. It'll be that company's loss...
