Job hunting

What a thankless task this is. Every time I have to do this at least half a decade has been and gone and things change so much in the meantime!! I'm trying to be positive and not take things too seriously or get my hopes up but really. It's vile. If only it were simple process, and not necessary to be permanently anxious. If only I'd gone to Uni or done some further education. My options would be open. But not now. I live in a limbo where I'm trying to sell myself but really there are plenty of people out there who can do what I do. Only they have the certificates to prove it. So much for the benefits of on the job training. Sigh.
