The idea that I should be able to get any job I apply for is just naive and stupid and should be done away with forthwith. <br /><br />CE - I'm due for an acceptance I think! Thanks for the attitude shift.<br /><br />I will find something. Eventually. Somewhere. That I like. I hope. Thanks all.

Maybe people were just putting the ad out because they had to... but really they already had one in mind for the job.<br /><br />That said, when I applied for jobs last summer I sent 37 applications, got one phone interview (and a real one, got 2nd for that position) and half of the applications did not even get a "thanks but no thanks" back....<br /><br />hang in there and remember that you are good and those negative thoughts will et you nowhere good.challhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10421219663804628119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232997740963687513.post-83149929822858881042009-04-16T16:08:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:08:00.000-04:00:(

It has nothing to do with YOU or your worthi-ness, but if the jobs aren't there... everyone is getting rejected. My lab is interviewing for an upper-level post-doc position, and within 24 hours of posting the job, for one person, there were over 500 applications submitted. Within the first 24 hours. People are desperate.<br /><br />Just keep trying.
