 ”The Most Difficult Part of the Job Search Is
Waiting for Permission to Give Up”
by Michael Panzner
“Maybe I’m just a glass-half-empty, cloud-behind-every-silver-lining, doddering old fool, but I can’t quite reconcile Wall Street’s almost surreal notion of where things stand – you know, “just close your eyes and buy, buy, buy” – with Main Street’s ever more pessimistic view  of the reality on the ground – let’s call it “cry, cry, cry.” That disparity is all the more apparent on a day like today, when share prices scream higher right out of the gate on yet another exercise in can-pushing futility by hapless policymakers, while one economic data point after another paints an undeniable picture of an economy careening off the edge of a cliff.

And that doesn’t even take into account the anecdotal reports we’re getting from the many individuals the so-called recovery has passed by, like those featured in morbidly compelling compilation at The Atlantic,  “Jobless in America: An Anthology of Testimonials About Unemployment.” Here’s a brief excerpt from one of them:

The most difficult part of the job search is:

       1. that I don’t live near a factory or outsource outlet in China, India, or Malaysia.

       2. trying not to appear desperate for a job when I am, in fact, quite desperate for a job.

       3. that I am subject to everyone’s advice on how to get a job, but no real job leads.

       4. that I am reminded that having a good job is not an entitlement.

       5. that when I become depressed from my job search, I’m told told to cheer up or else give a bad vibe to prospective employers … yet when I become happy through non-search related activities, I am reminded that I should be looking for work.

       6. that when I confide to friends and family that I have “given up” to pursue more fruitful interests,  it elicits a crushing look of disbelief, disappointment, and disgust.

       7. waiting for permission to give up.

If looking for a job is a full-time job, then are you “fired” when you never (after many resumes, networking events, and workshops) find a job? Pour me another (half-empty) glass?”
