I don’t think I could do as well. It’s like that old joke, the employer says to his new employee “Hurry up and get to work, what do you think this is, a vacation from job hunting!” I’m confident you’ll come out of this with a great job that you truly enjoy. Love, Dad Hi Sweetheart,

It made me laugh (more than once) while reading it. You are dead-on with your commentary about how a job search can be like dating, with the exception that it's a lot less fun. Be sure and let me know when you get your first unemployment check in the mail - we'll have to celebrate! Cindee (LHH JSWT) Jenni,

You've nailed the the similarities between dating and job search with hilarious and horrifying effect. It is such a privilege to be quoted in your blog too. It also gives me the chance to reply and boost your attitude with my no-guarantee advice that Mr. Right Job Office will come along when you aren't looking for it -- probably after you decide to go back to school full-time, secure financial aid and are studying for your first exam.
