The problem I am having more than anything these days is battling the feeling of tiredness. Lately I've been waking up at 10am, make breakfast, do dishes, trying to stay active so that come time for sleep I'm not up until everyone starts their morning the next day.
I used to get up at 8am every day, go to a full time job, come home at 5 and sometimes go to my second job. They weren't anything special. Definitely not a professional job either, but my point I'm making here is that my fiance gets up for his second shift full time job late in the afternoon. He doesn't go to sleep until about 3 or 4 in the morning. It's thrown me off, especially in this job hunt, considering that I'd much rather sleep than be on the phone with people. I was never the type to be a "morning person" anyways. My downfall is I can't motivate myself to do much before 3pm in regards to talking to people on the phone who I don't know.
Now, I've worked hard in my life. I was going to school, had a job, eventually had two jobs and still managed to get my BA in less time than it takes most. I was proud of this. I want to say that I earned a nine to five type of job. I don't want to work weekends, but I'm more than willing to work 40+ hours during the week if necessary, overtime, holidays even. But for some reason I'm not having any luck.
Intelligence and schooling doesn't help you when you're up against an adversary like experience. I wasn't offered internships or co-ops through out my three years of undergrad. Now, with the experience being so crucial, I can do nothing about it since most internships are meant for college students or high school seniors. Even volunteering options are becoming more exclusive. They don't want to let you volunteer without experience. I'm not saying I never volunteered, but I have to admit, all this talk about how companies don't have enough volunteers to do free work is a load.
