Unemployment - Take Two

I had so much fun over the weekends that it kinda alleviated my unemployment stress. I guess weekends do that to just about everyone. When I got home and started working on those cover letters again, I no longer felt pressured. I shouldn't be worrying so much because it won't improve my chances of landing a job. I wasn't even able to stick to sending out 20 applications over the weekend simply because there weren't that many jobs for me to apply to in the first place. Haha. I will just have to make up for lost time by routinely checking JobsStreet and JobsDB and keeping those applications flowing out. If I keep trying, I am bound to get a response sooner or later. Perhaps I should check the Straits Times now and then for a change, too.

Anyway, the first thing I did before I started on my next wave of applications was to get a new e-mail address. My Hotmail one probably sounded strange to all my prospective employers, so I applied for a more formal-sounding G-Mail address. And thanks to the Gmail Notifier that I saw Akira use, I can easily access it. At the moment, I shall not disclose it for fear that some bots will come by and add it to their collection of spammed accounts. I like my Gmail the way it is for now: Clean.

Out of interest, I also studied MS Excel with the help of online tutorials. I was getting a bit intimidated by the MS Word-Powerpoint-Excel triple combo required by most Admin jobs so I thought I'd better pick it up. Wow, the first instance of self-enrichment in nearly a year already.

Oh, well. I feel a lot better now. I hope I get some responses soon. My handphone will be close by my side from now on. At this point in time, aside from fun & games, I am running out of things to concern myself with so a job might be just what I need to fill the void in my life.
