Shall we job?

The obvious thing is, that to get a job, you have to send applications, and resumes to the respective companies.

I've done plenty of looking, but haven't been contacting anyone. I know that I job just won't drop on my lap. A job that I like that is. I'm now a leasing agent for an apartment company, and that is not a job that I like. Well, I've grown more accostumed to it, but I still don' t trully like it.

I have to get over my fear of thinking I cannot market myself in a desireable way. I can do a wide array of things, and have learned a range of skills, and yet, I underestimate myself in that aspect. I look at all the requirements, and quickly spot the one that i'm not that good at, and by that measure alone, I do not contact the employer. I try to find the flaw, which normally crushes all dreams. Most jobs that I have acquired, I did not contain the full skill set, when I started working, but with all of them, I was trained, and I learned the things I did not know. Just because I don't know a process, or I am not so sharp in a skill, does not mean that I cannot easly learn it.

I have to leverage that, and try to get a job that fits my focus. Pure sales and retail jobs will not lead me to become lead designer, or Senior software engineer, anywhere. I might be able to climb the comporate grapevine, at wherever I work, but that's a much harder road to travel.

I should make a goal of contacting 2 to 3 potential employeers every week, and see where that leads. The response might be "No," but it's better than not knowing what the response would be. And you have to get through a lot of "No" to reach a "Yes."
