I could not be more stressed. I discovered today that a children librarian position I had applied for last month has been filled. It was a major crushing blow considering this time I had been extremely pro-active, shown a lot of interest, and even had my boss at the community college library where I work write a glowing letter of recommendation. To not even be called in for an interview was beyond disheartening. They had said they wanted someone with an MLS degree but I thought being 2/3 of the way done in the program, I could at least qualify. This was for an extremely small-town library and I know of libraries in much more urban areas that hire someone who is working towards their degree. When it comes to me and jobs, Pittsburgh is not my friend and not someone I really care for at all. I feel that it's treated me extremely crappily this year and all of last year. I'm not going to limit myself though. I am going to school, getting into deep debt for a reason and want a job that is worthy of me and my academic background. I've started to apply to jobs way outside of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area so please keep your fingers crossed. I want to know that out of the dozens of people that apply for one single job, just once I am good enough to be considered to make the cut.
BTW-I did finish the final assignment for this class last night. I hope it's okay. I guess maybe I'll try to blog a bit more on HTML in my next post. Really just disheartened right now.
