It’s been an interesting month and 1/2 since I graduated from Boise State University. I feel like I have crammed a lifetime into the last 40 or so days. Job hunting is not what it used to be. Before I started applying for design positions, I assumed the internet would have made it easier for job searching. The truth is, at least from my experience, that while the searching may be easier, the actual getting is much more difficult, and the employers certainly seem to get the better end of the bargain when it comes to online applications and resume posting.

Now I am the first to admit that I may be out of practice in the activity, but it used to be that a person could apply to a job in person, or at least talk to an actual human being while turning in an application. There was a face behind the machine. Someone with whom a follow up contact could be made. Now an individual can submit tens or even hundreds of resumes but never have the opportunity to talk to an actual human being. Times have changed. ( I have a thing for cliche’s)

Well, I will continue to push. My personal ramblings aside, I have a feeling this is going to be a great year.
