So many people would say to me while I was working at Fedex, “ you have a college degree why stay if you hate it so bad.” My answer is, I cannot search for a job full time and work full time. Making $42k as a courier was great money for me. I have no kids, no house, no credit cards, just student loans, normal utilities, I split my expenses with my girlfriend, we have a small apartment, we each have our own car and we travel a lot when on vacation. Its hard finding a job that would pay me the same STARTING out.
Each resume was custom to the job I was applying to. I just couldn't send out the same thing to 173 different companies. It was luck, yes lucky I was fired because I spent about 8-9 hours a day searching for a job. I got up around 7 am, had breakfast, showered and then work. I sat at my desk and applied. I wrote and rewrote letters, at 12-1 pm id take a lunch break and come to this site. From 1pm- 530pm back at job hunting. Many times id eat dinner then back at it from 730-10pm. It was a full time job to get the job I wanted.
