Off Topic - Job Hunting

You know I thought I would have a full-time job by now.  I really thought that I was someone employers would want to hire for their companies, and that I would be employed with benefits and what not at this point in time.  It stinks that I am still a part-time worker.  I like my part-time job, I really do, but it does nothing to help me with the wedding.  I get just above minimum wage.  I barely have enough to pay my bills each month, never mind start saving up for a house and/or wedding expenses.

It drives me nuts that I am not contributing financially to this wedding.  True I am planning absolutely everything.  But I feel like I could be doing more.  A full-time job would help me to do more.  I have applied to any and every job that sounds like something I could do and nothing.  I had those interviews at UNUM and then they left me a voicemail saying that the managers had decided to move forward with other candidates (awesome voicemail).  It just stinks because I have put a lot of time and effort into contacting places, emailing or mailing my resumes.  I have contacted people for letters of recommendation and no one has come through.  Many jobs need me to send in 3 letters of recommendation with my resume and information, and I cannot apply for those jobs until I have copies of recommendation letters.  I have emailed my past employers multiple times for letters, and no luck so far.  I don't want to be pestering them for it, but I need it.  I really cannot get employed until I have recommendations..... ARG!

So for now I continue my job search and sending out my resumes to every job that looks appealing.  I know that I will get one.  I just wish I knew when.
