A lot of their stories revolved around someone knowing someone. But I’ve discovered, in just over a year, someone knowing someone ONLY works if that someone is willing to speak on your behalf or open a door that may normally be closed for you. If don’t, well, you can know a million people, but if they don’t connect for you, it won’t work.

All this job search is just eating me away inside.

It’s gotten so bad that I can’t even be happy for others.
