Now that we’re at three months, it seems like you all have decided that it’s more important to consider real food over plastic food with funny faces…

Wow.  100 posts.  That’s a lot.  Sure, some of them might not be about jobs, but that’s still a good number.  Or is it?  I mean, 100 is just as much of a number as 99 or 101…maybe there’s some undue emphasis on number milestones.

At one point in my job search, I sent out over 1,000 applications in the span of two months, with about 150 of them going out over the course of two days.  Although I got some responses, none of them were the magic job offer.

I know people who have had to look for a new careers for only three days before they got an offer.  Some others took around five months.

The truth is, the number of applications you’ve sent, the number of interview you’ve had, the number of months you’ve been looking…none of it really matters.  All you’re looking for is the one that gets you in the door.

And whether you’re on the side that’s counting the days since you started (and the hours till you can leave the office to go home) or on the side that’s counting the days since you last heard anything from a prospective employer, thanks for your support.  I hope that something on the blog has helped you with your job search or your current career.

And I promise I won’t put up anything like this again until there are 500 posts.
