Doesn't Anyone Want Me?

So in my policy class we had to compile a list of our Distinctive Competencies. A list of things that we do better than anyone else. While this was not hard for me, seeing as I am a master of Sims, Brickbreaker on Blackberry's, painting my nails and I can pretty much drink any other girl (and some men) under the table; what was this going to do for me in the long run?

I have racked up three rejection letters now from jobs...one that I really wanted. I know I don't meet all of the qualifications when I apply but I still wish someone (or their computer system) would deem me worthy of an interview. Someone besides all of the lame insurance companies who keep emailing/calling me....thank you Monster & Careerbuilder.

I know everyone said it wouldn't be easy, but no one said it would be this hard. I also know that I have just gotten started. But I need that interview. Even if I don't get the position, I NEED that interview. I need to know that I am at least going in the right direction. I need to know that I am one step closer to getting Vernon out of the Air Force.

I know I have a lot of distinctive competencies, I just need to learn how to put them into words. What do I have to bring to the table that nobody else does?

Rejection Letters Make Me Feel Kinda Rejected

So I have started the big girl job process. I'm filling out applications all the time now. Trying to do at least 2 a day. Some I don't meet all the requirements, some I do. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be in the environmental industry of some sort. Too bad i should have known that years ago and double majored in both business AND environmental science. Ugh. I'm looking into these LEED certifications though. They are done through the USGBC and I think they will help me out showing that I have SOME knowledge of what they do.

I got my first rejection letter yesterday. =[
It sucks. I mean in a way I'm glad they actually took the time to laugh in my face. Most places just ignore you. I know this is gonna be hard but I really need this to work out. I have to get Vernon out of the Air Force. We are both over it and we know that the longer he stays in, the better the chance that he has to leave us for a while. A deployment to Kuwait actually came up last week...they told them they were leaving in a WEEK and would be gone until September. Stuff like that is terrifying. Thank goodness he is my little underachiever and he is not trained on the equipment that they have over there. So sending him would be pointless. I don't want him to have to drop on a dime like that. Traveling with a regular company is different, you can call whenever, send pics, text, blah blah blah. Going overseas is horrible.

I foresee many more rejection letters in my future.
Just waiting for that one company that wants me!
