I should be happy I suppose, and I was for a little while. But now I’m just scared because I haven’t heard back from a single job. How can I apply for so many things and not get a single call back? Enough of this patience test…running out of time. I don’t like it. And now, by graduating, I’ve taken away one of my safety nets, which is going to school and taking out loans. Oh well, this needed to happen. And I know, it works out soon. But soon isn’t a date. Soon is relative, and right now it’s not soon enough for comfort. I don’t even care that it’s my last test, it’s just too damn scary right now.

So.. now I have to address you as ‘Master Jax’?
Congratulations on graduating and achieving this goal. Study and hard work DO pay off. Good job!
As for hearing from jobs…
Most ‘jobs’ get many many applicants. Most know that the applicants are doing ‘mass applying’. Best way to let them ‘know’ you are more than ‘just submitting paper’ is to contact the HR department — or speak to the person you applied with and see if the job is still ‘open’ — if and when they will be scheduling a follow up interview.
— or be real brazen and ask them when you should come in to start working!!!!!
If it’s only been a a few days since the submissions/interviews.. give it a week to ten days and do the above….. so THEY know you are interested and ‘hungry’ for the position.
Waiting works…. but usually that means going on a lot more interviews and getting all wound up about the ‘what ifs’ — until a job falls into your lap.

Sorry.. this should have gone with the first piece….
The game is ‘visibility’ and ‘persistence’. You have to keep at them to let them KNOW you WANT the job.
I know it’s ‘playing the game’ — but I have seen many *get* their job because they were practically standing at the entrance each morning as the employees came in…. just to let them know it was THAT important to get THAT job.

I know you’re trying to help, but this really is a spiritual test as I’ve been told repeatedly from different sources. It is a test of patience, the last test, but a test nontheless. So no amount of pushing will bring a job anyway.
And I’ve been doing all I can. It’s actually rare to have a contact number to follow up with. I’ve followed up with emails when that is my form of contact. I’m doing everything I can, it just isn’t getting me anywhere.

And you thought all the testing was done with finals and the thesis!
So… a lesson in ‘not trying to control the Universe’ — so the Source can work with and through you and present the job you *need* to be doing rather than the one you ‘want’ to be doing?
s’cool.
I wish you well on your new path.

Not at all, as that would simply not be true. You can and do have control over your own life. This lesson of patience is of a completely different variety.
