the jobhunt

Hunching over, eyes peer through the binoculars of cyberspace hunting for that rare and elusive job. It hides well, camouflaged in the foliage which is the business world. Darting here and there, never staying in place for too long. You may see it and think, 'aha, that is for me' but once you get your application together with a great cover letter, alas it has vanished from the forest of job postings. You sit poised listening for the call of the job -a ring of the telephone, the chime of a new e-message. But they trick you! The job has quickly flown to another branch leaving you with only a response of 'thanks for applying'
