I believe I applied for<br />120 positions that summer and had interviews with 3 companies? 4 maybe?<br />Sucks. Job/apartment/relationship hunting sucks. At least I've got 2/3 right<br />now though! Silver lining! :)Kim's Kitchen Sinkhttp://www.kimskitchensink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-82885575365390306362011-06-24T09:59:10.434-07:002011-06-24T09:59:10.434-07:00This sounds oddly like my job-hunt (that has been ...This sounds oddly like my job-hunt (that has been ongoing for the past six months): the job descriptions are always vague, the pay is never listed (or is given as a range such as £18-25k per annum depending on experience) and the expectations are ridiculous (MUST HAVE at least an MA in sculpture or figure painting, 10 years of touring experience on large-scale musicals, full and clean driver's license (own car preferable), experience managing a large company or theatre company. Job: props assistant. Pay: £10k pro-rata for daily 4-hour commitments, touring expenses not covered). And when you say "fuggit" and apply anyway because there's nothing else, six weeks later you might get a form letter back apologising that, "We received over 500 applications for this post so sorry, but we cannot explain why yours was unsuccessful at this time, but thank you for your interest." And you just want to scream. (£20k is a basic living wage in London. Anything less and you'll probably lose money over time and there won't be enough for pension or student loan payments.) <br /><br />Erm, the way it is like my job hunt, by the way, is that you'll go through and there's not many gigs available, and the ones that are aren't exactly what you had in mind and the pay is terrible, but you worry that if on the off chance someone does hire you, five days after you start someone else with an amazing perfect well-paid job will call.Kristen Gilmorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214008852340471685.post-74761400594759643762011-06-23T20:33:09.042-07:002011-06-23T20:33:09.042-07:00Yep.

...If only dating were like apartment hunting, then <br />"carpet stains," "lack of closet space," "no lights in the upstairs, <br />nothing going on downstairs," and "ex-girlfriend still lives here" would<br /> be readily apparent during a 10-minute walk through.
