Job Search Frustrations

Sigh.  Well, I was up for two different eCommerce jobs, both of which I was excited about.  It turns out I was underqualified for one and overqualified for the other.  So, in the meantime, I'm still wondering if I'll be getting unemployment (they're now ten days late in responding to me and haven't yet responded to my query), my savings is running out quick, and I have no potential job in sight.

I'm disappointed in the idea of "underqualified."  If I'm willing to do the job, especially when it's a contract job for up to six months, I think this idea is silly.  Plus, since I take classes at night, I'm quite happy to have a job I can complete and leave at work while I run off to class and learn new things.

It's tough since I only have two months of eCommerce experience but years of sourcing and merchandising experience.  And I really want to do more eCommerce.

Oh well, I guess I'll continue to work on my website (monologuemuse.com) and keep looking for work.  I'll try not to get too frustrated.  And I'll hope I can find a company that's just as excited to have me working for them as I am to work for them.
