Employed in Unemployment

Although officially Gussly is a job-seeker, according to convention I am in fact a bum. In my new role the astonishing thing is quite how busy it all is.

How often do you consciously acknowledge to others you are, for example, striving or developing or impressing or implementing something? In working to find work I describe and do more riveting verbs than you can shake a stick or a thesaurus at; more even than I can fit on a 2 page CV; not to mention more than in some previous paid employments.

The nitty gritty of job search is not noteworthy. Needless to say, it is samey and requires optimism. Meeting Recruitment Consultants along the way requires even more.

The reduction in my ability to be creative on this blog is attributable to my mind being necessarily occupied pursuing possible work. It's not all bad though. On the plus side I could detail for you the public transport possibilities of South West Surrey's London connections... Another time perhaps.
