For the last 2 summers I have been out of work, and not for lack of trying.
Last summer hit me particularly hard, because I was up for co-op placement, which I need to graduate from my program. I, along with 2 other students didn't get placed. I was *not* a happy camper.
This year, I'm up for placement again. Last time, we only got a handful of job postings at a time. This time, in the first 2 weeks, we got 30+. WTF?? I don't think we got that many postings in the entire semester last year!
Not that I'm complaining. I spent the whole day applying for as many as I could. Now I have interviews.
I have five interviews in one single week. Next week. On Monday and Thursday I have 2 in the same day.
Double WTF? Again I barely got that many interviews in the entire semester last year. Hell for the last 2 years I've felt like a leper to employers, now all of a sudden I'm Mr. Popularity. My co-op coordinator even teased me about it.
I'm not complaining of course. It's going to be a long, and hopefully productive week. So I shake my fist defiantly at the onset of the storm screaming "Bring in on!", while keeping two fingers crossed behind my back. And possibly sucking my thumb at night.
