Two more resumes sent off through the wonder of the internet and a third packet ready to be printed out and mailed tomorrow. I wonder if I'll ever hear anything back from any of these...

Go meeshie! Soon you shall triumph!

Are we doing the gym tomorrow, bright and early?

Yep. Early I can guarantee. Bright, eh, probably not so much.

Thanks.

I'm not a patient person, so this sort of waiting drives me crazy.

Yay you! Just keep on getting the applications sent out and soon you will hear from one or more of them!

I suppose so. I have such a pessimistic view of things sometimes. Because one person wasn't interested, I feel like no one will be. I do realize, of course, that this is absurd and not true. Still, until someone actually grants me an interview, I will continue to feel like I'm sending these resumes out into the ether to no good purpose.

I sent out something like 30 applications when I was on the job market. From those I got 5 or 6 phone interviews, 2 campus interviews and 1 job offer. It really is a numbers game - the more applications you send out, the more likely you are to hit just the right one. You just have to make yourself believe you have a tough tough hide and are impervious to rejection for the duration!
