12. It's great, wonderful, to see the shoe on the other foot

There was a phase of my life when I was a young adult, I needed a job, any job. I worked on my resume all the time, I had volunteer experience, I lowered my standards, learned interviewing skills, I was going to school, I kept my nose clean, etc.

And you know what I got?

Nothing but “don’t call us, we’ll call you”s and the same email over and over again just with the job title changed I got telling me they were looking for someone else but “best of luck in your job search”.

I had a family I wanted to make - that wasn’t going to happen.
My family thought I was lazy - despite all the sacrifices and willingness I had

All because I wasn’t a magical unicorn to these people. So I’m enjoying every minute of employers begging people to work for them.
