Job fair II - Inspired by my Navy Vets..

JOB FAIR II- INSPIRED BY NAVY VETS...
 Well my first job fair ,, I was not prepared , No resume , no references , no idea what I was really doing.. But today,, I wore a classy suit and tie, I had the resume on fancy resume paper and of course professional and personal references.. But.. wait. All those qualifications and skills I attained and were so proud of.. In the Civilian world,, means nothing!! Yea , thanks for serving the Nation and protecting us, But you don't have the civilian qualifications.. Are u serious? I'm trained much better than any of those clowns who interviewed me or advising me I need to get civilian quals.. What? Really? To be honest I felt so insulted and disappointed .. But its ok,, I will stick to my plan of my IT degree and seeking employment in the Hosptial industry.. Its just I worked so hard last night to get all my RESUMES  ready,, and now this? To be honest I was cautious with optimism,. But I saw I looked at spoke and My resume looked really good, Now whether it was , is another question? But it was such a long process you stand in line, you sign forms and then you are directed to separate lines. But whats frustrating I know I'm better qualified and more skilled than the person interviewing me.. Am I arrogant , perhaps but I guess for my second job fair in 4 or 5 months, I think I improved a lot. But it was just hard to take when they saw my experience and qualifications and they still couldn't figure out where I belong ? Maybe  I put too many qualifications or maybe I have been away for so long that maybe its a good idea I'm returning to school.. I shouldn't feel bad , but I guess I got too hyped up.. Disappointed ,, and frustrated , but it's ok.. I know my true calling in life is coming. I know I will succeed but to feel the disappointment an feel awkward was a strange feeling? But atleast they took my resume and said they employer will make a decision. Oh well.. I know My ego took a blow , but I ALSO know..that I have many skills and talents the civilian world is yearning for,, and I;m not going to sell myself short.. So , back to the drawing board,, Work on resume.. Specialize more and have business cards made and also, Look into entry level jobs while I'm attending school full time. Its a plan and a strategy I will use for the next 2 or 3 years ,, until I complete my degree plans.. But today was exhausting and brought me down to earth,, Perhaps I needed a Real world shock , that the job market is a battle and I need to prepare better for the next job fair.. The hospital has other job fairs and I will be ready for them as well as other job announcements that come my way.. JOB FAIR II.. a lot better than my first one in San Diego.. But bottom line, I wasn't hired for what I wanted to do, so I'm back to the drawing board and I'm looking forward to the next Job fair or job announcement's.. Until My next blog.. Take Care and keep focused!!
