Has anyone ever told you how much trying to find a job sucks??? I mean seriously seriously seriously sucks? I’ve been looking for about a month and I got a whole lot of nuthin. NUTHIN.
When I moved to NYC, I decided that I wanted to go thru a career change. I worked as an insurance claims adjuster for about 6 years, and was ready for something different. Maybe something a little less combative … Something less stressful… Something where I wouldn’t be yelled at at least once a day and told that I was the spawn of Satan … I mean, I don’t think I was asking for too much, do you?
So in order to move into this new career, I need to decide what I wanted to be when I grow up. That’s that hard part, 'cause honestly, I really don’t know. I mean... I’d love to save manatees, but I don’t think that is a very viable job option here in the Northeast when all the manatees are in Florida (and sometimes get lost and swim up to St. Louis).
So I’ve decided to just throw my resume out into the wind and hope that someone picks it up. I am ok with working as an entry level entry level something or the other, but in order to do that I would have to fix my resume.
My resume was geared towards the insurance world, as all my experience was in the insurance world. Fortunately, I had a friend who had a friend who was able to help me touch that sucker up so that it was more appealing to the non-insurance industry. If it hadn’t been for this lady, I would still be working on my resume! It mean seriously! Resume writing is hard. How do you mention all your achievements and not sound like a douche? On top of that, how do you write a career changing resume without sounding like a douche that has too much experience and may want too much money??? That’s that hard part.
I’ve gotten a couple of calls from some insurance recruiters, so it looks like I may have to go back into insurance. But at this point, I’m ok with that … I mean, it won’t kill me to go back into insurance … I mean, not directly … Maybe the stress related hypertension or something (is that even real? or did I make that up?) … Or maybe a psychotic claimant who has their claim denied and is really pissed abou it …

Um. But you are the spawn of Satan. Right? Cause if you're not, we can't be friends any more.
