I just quit my job of two years thinking it would be SO easy for me to
get another job right away.. after all, I'm intelligent, a fast learner,
hard worker, dependable..  so why can't someone just SEE all these great
qualities and hire me on the spot?!

Okay, so I know I'm just ranting here.. but I need to vent my
frustration!  I spent ALL DAY in Chico today and I didn't get anything
accomplished!

And how do I GET experience if no one will hire me so I can learn in the
first place??

I *LOVE* computers.. has been my hobbie since I was yay-big.  I can take
'em apart and put 'em back together, build 'em from scratch, design web
pages.. geeze, I'm even learning about NETWORKING because I WANT TO, not
because of a job or whatever.

Okay, okay.. I'm done venting.  For now.  I'm going out again in the
morning to do more job hunting.  Wish me luck!

Next time you may want to line up the new job before quitting the old
one...  :-)

Yeah, I'm doing that now.. making one that pertains to a specific position.  But
thanks for the tip, I'm always grateful for help!!

Not.  But I'm not as stressed as I was last week :)

Thanks..

I spent two years in a hiring position and let me tell ya for what it's
worth:

Your resume has to be tight! Learn as much about the gig as possible and
then streamline your resume to match. You are best off faxing out customized
resumes to potential employers and then waiting for calls.

Maybe you have a job by now. Maybe not.

Probably.
