The Job Seeker’s Prayer

Posted by Ms. Babble

August 15, 2007

They should make a law that requires potential employers a specific amount of time to call potential employees back. The next politician that puts this on her agenda has my vote. At this point I would be happy if a job would call me back just to laugh maniacally and choke out words like “resume”, “you’ve gotta be joking”, and “try McDonalds”.

Then again, it’s only been two weeks.

In the mean time, here’s my little prayer for the job seeker:

Lord, give me the awareness not to walk into traffic while staring at my phone for the call that never happens.

Give me the tenacity to keep rewriting my resume to fit the little peg hole some anonymous jerk-off lists as the position he has open.

Give me the luck of knowing someone who knows someone who works with a guy who dates the assistant manager of (insert company name here).

And please Lord, give me the assurance that all my efforts are not in vain and my stress won’t just be a precursor for even more stress once I get a job that I hate which pays far too little money.

Amen.
