Hello again. So I sit and spend another day staring at my computer thinking contradictory thoughts at the exact same time. How wonderful the invention of the computer was that I can find a job while in my pajamas and what a drag the invention of the computer was as I would feel a lot more productive if I could walk around introducing myself and actually seeing first hand the places that I am about to send my details off to and maybe even someday live off of their profits-or nonprofits, however that works. But, se la vie as they say. Here I am searching all the sites I know about-which include but are not limited to, idealist.org, Jewishjobs.com, monster.com, and even craigslist. So far I have sent out at least 10 resumes, which I am told is a relatively small amount. I guess because of my last list of goals I am hesitant when I see job descriptions that have to do with things such as media buying because although this may be fine for some, I do not think I would get anything out of it. Am I being too picky? If I want to be too picky will I be forced to go back to school for my master's degree? If we are going to talk about a two way streak than I must admit to myself that maybe I don't yet deserve to have this perfect job that I dream about. After all what do I have that anyone else my age with a liberal arts degree doesn’t have? The funny thing is, is that within my liberal education-not only in university, but throughout my childhood in public school, we were taught to look at each person for who they are. Meaning that each person is special and that just intrinsically just because I was born with fingerprints unlike anyone else's I stand out. Well welcome to the real world. This no longer applies. I need something more than that. I did go traveling for a few months. I wasn't going to stretch the truth too far which, lead me to my decision not to make up some elaborate story for my resume stating my dealings with foreign ministries or rebuilding orphanages. Would have been nice. 

   I am pretty confident in the fact that if I do mention the experiences that I have been through and what I learned from them it will show them that I am a curious individual who is willing to have an open mind about what lies beyond my little world here in New Jersey. And if the interviewer is the type of person that grudgingly asks me how that is supposed to help me in the "real world" as opposed to going out into the All American work force than that boss and I were probably better off going our separate ways. More to come.
