Job Slog


Hello!
Lately I've been so off with things. Job hunting is just not cool :-( , it can be so demotivating at times. 
I've sent about 12 applications so far in the month and a half since I've seriously started job search and got a call back for one interview. Only to be told in the interview that the position is too 'boring' for me.  
I think I'm a great candidate and I am so ready to work, what's wrong with firms, they don't even bother to send email responses. 
I'm organised, punctual, cooperative, super motivated to work, I went to a decent school and decent body of work - isn't this what they are after? 

I aim to send three applications in a week, whether unsolicited or advertised. This week so far I've yet to send applications because I feel down.
I must get out of this rut. Who cares if one place decides to not respond, it really is an opportunity to apply for better places and positions. 

From this job search, I want get offers either as an to intern at a renown 'famous' office, work in a design-focussed local practice, a study scholarship, or work in government. These are the type of positions I am after and I would be thrilled if such an opportunity arises. I am so eager to make this happen!
