Lately I've been almost overwhelmed with job search tips, mainly because I've applied to so many positions. My name is on a zillion job search email lists, and I occasionally read the career news that sites like Monster post in my emails. Topics have been making your resume stand out in the crowd, what not to say at a job interview, the top 10 things that can get you fired, etc. I have found some really interesting jobs that I think I might qualify for, on sites like GetArchivistJobs.net, Indeed.com, and SimplyHired. Many of these sites are listed on the careers page for SJSU SLIS, and I bookmarked it so I could return to it if I needed to. I even have an app on my iPad called Super Job Search, which offers websites filled with job listings, tips, and tricks to landing that perfect job.
As of right now, all I can think about is applying for a job that I will actually get. As I stated in my discussion post for this week, I've gotten a lot of rejections from jobs I've applied for because of my experience level. As much as I understand that getting rejected is just part of the application process, I can't help feeling angry and hurt that I was not good enough.
