The job search begins

Finding a job is tough. I've sent about 30 resumes out and have gotten 6 responses- 3 rejections, and 3 interview queries. What about the other 26? It boggles me that the 3 interview queries included 2 of the top companies in the nation, whereas I applied to so many lesser companies that completely ignored me.

Emailing my resume and coverletter to companies, and applying online, is like trying to solicit a lover's attention... virtually. Please, please look at me. Just one look! And maybe if you like what you see, you'll want to invite me over to your place for dinner, ask me some really deep questions about myself and what I want from this relationship. And if- after wining and dining and questioning me- you think I have integrity and would be a great asset to your world, you want me to be your lover. And, er, pay me money for my services. Sigh.

So that means I've been rejected by 26 potential virtual lovers. I'm depressed but not as much as if this had been the real universe (goodness gracious- imagine that!). But seriously, I would be a great asset to any lover. A great asset! I am a quick learner and have got mad skills ;) They should really just turn their heads and take a look.
