Vacancy

Another departure from a formal story. However for this word I feel I want to discuss it. 'Vacancy' the word that is the bane of all those searching for work. I know that that might sound like a contradiction in terms. I however have been trying to find a job for a long time. Its really annoying - mainly because most places never get back to you! So you always wonder has my application been rejected or are they still processing.

To quote Xander Harris 'I'm just expecting thin slips of paper with the words 'No Way' written in crayon.' Seriously I wouldn't be surprised if companies wrote to me saying 'no' preempting my application!

So I guess my only option is to keep at it. I feel the job center web site calling. I hope to be published one day because this job thing seems dire!

How about you? Have you had trouble with finding a job?
