I've received beautiful comments from people who have sent their encouragement and understanding in this process. Yesterday, being a holiday, I took the task of not sitting down to think for a moment about what it entails to sit down and look for a job. The hours it takes me to apply, to think about whether to add or remove things from my resume.

I've received beautiful comments from people who have sent their encouragement and understanding in this process. Yesterday, being a holiday, I took the task of not sitting down to think for a moment about what it entails to sit down and look for a job. The hours it takes me to apply, to think about whether to add or remove things from my resume.
Something I've done is try different methods, study how to make an attractive resume, and I've used the most current methods. Unfortunately, the responses haven't been favorable.
After so much research, today I started with an old method, trying the old school (something I hadn't done). I sat down with a big cup of coffee and created in Word format after format from scratch for the entire resume. It looks incredibly boring, bland, and probably appealing to recruiters or whoever ends up seeing this damn thing.
I'm not lying, sometimes I wonder where we're headed, and I say "we" because I know there are many people trying to bet on our dreams and wanting to aim for something better, for what we feel we deserve, and we're not wrong to bet on ourselves. If I don't do it, who else will?
