The past couple of weeks has been crazy. I have been submitting my resume and application to just about anywhere that I can. The responses just started coming in and I must say it is time consuming, but I know it will work out in the end.
As most people know that I am not one to sit around and wait, I have called some of these prospective employers to verify that they have received my resume and or application. Some companies are very nice about it and either tell me they will get back to me or just tell me no, but what I find the most interesting are the companies that tell me I am over-qualified for the position that they are hiring for. I don’t think I am all that great, but I do know what I know, and have no problem admitting what I don’t know, but I don’t know how to make prospective employers understand that I want them to help me, so I in return can help them.
The most frequent comment I get is “I don’t think we can afford someone with your experience” or “someone with your experience probably won’t stay around“. I understand those statements and thinking being a previous business owner, but sometimes I think they should just think about now. I am a guy who can help them with what they need right now, and if I would leave down the road, that company would be further ahead anyway.
I just want my prospective employers to understand, I have a family to provide for, a mortgage to pay, and that is all I am concerned about anymore. It’s not like I am trying to take the world over anymore Pinky, I just want to live my life and be a regular person that isn’t in the spotlight. Well, almost regular, I still want to blog and post about things that annoy me.
