It has been almost a year since my last post. Lots of things have occurred, like graduating and turning a quarter of century old.
During my last semester at UNC I began my search for a job January of 2010. I have come to believe one of the hardest challenges facing recent graduates is the job market. The unemployment rate for NC is approximately 10%. I am unfortunately a part of that statistic. You might think that there is lack of ambition or a desire to change my current situation. You are sadly mistaken. I Have sent out on average of 5 applications per week. I am not lacking the skill or desire but I the realization is that employers average around 100s to 1000s of applications for that same job. Employers are faced with an even harder task of deciding who qualifies best for the job.
This begs the question of "What to do now?" Should I return to school to gain my masters, join the military or keep perusing a job market that seems to have other ideas for me?
This is what I am going to do. Stay the course and to never give up. Giving my all at everything to remember that I have a purpose in this life.
If you are faced with the situation, I hope that you remember that tomorrow is a new day. Purpose is something you should hold close to your heart and do not allow anyone else to come in and take your desires away from you. Dreams are only achievable if you keep them alive.
