obstacles.


i need a job.

the problem is, i have no job-searching skills.  the only jobs i've ever gotten have been because i knew people, or it was an artificial environment like my internships.

in fact, the last time i was in this position (newly graduated, looking for employment), my dad got me a job at the company he worked for.

it's not (or at least, i tell myself it's not) that i'm unemployable with no skills.  i have a lot of skills.  i have a ton of things i can do, and i've had a pretty eclectic employment history. i just don't know how to explain that to people.

also, i am sick to death of office assistant jobs.  i don't have the personality to answer phones or sit at a front desk, and i get bored to tears doing data entry.

when i started seminary, i had the confidence that this was my next step, and that God was going to work things out somehow in the end.  but here i am, at the end, with no job, no phd acceptance, in a new city with no network, sending out resume after resume with no response.

now i don't know what to do.
