Its not what you know.. Its who you know.

I am currently working at my 3rd job since summer of 2006. So far, I have hated all three of them. The one that I working at right now, is a restaurant without very much regard for their employees. No ending time for your shift is EVER guaranteed. For example, yesterday I started at 5:30 and finished at 7:26. Less than two hours. How can anyone expect to make a significant income off an unsure/unsteady paycheck? You could come in 5 times a week and yet work only 10 hours. So, me being me, I'm back on the block looking for a job. The biggest thing that I hate about searching and getting a job, is that the most important thing is not what you have done or better yet, what you can do, its who you know, that can get you in. : . Drives me crazy. I can spend counteless hours serarching for jobs on the internet, handing out resumes, calling possible employers, when I could spend a 10th of that time getting a job by simply talking to a connection or acquaintance. Now that would all work in my favour, IF I had these connections/ acquaintances. I always wonder why I never have any, and I start to think that its because I'm lazy. *He* has all these cards in his wallet of Real Estate Reps, that he knows from all over the place. Some how, he manages to network even in a bookstore (real story). But yet, I can't manage to get myself out there. Maybe that should be my second new goal for this year, to make sure that I get out there, probably by myself, and network . I really have to do that. And soon. Right now, I'm not trying to continue to do jobs that are not adding to my crudentials (?) for the future that I have planned for myself. Working at a restaurant, working in a grocery store, is not going to do that for me.
