I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sad.....
So we are hiring an Administrative assistant at my work to help me out a bit......... We have placed an ad on the internet and well, within 2 hrs I had already had 45 resumes emailed to me and I started to review them and schedule interviews.... Just checked my work email (wanted to know what I would be in store for tomorrow..... as of 10 PM tonight I have 70 more resumes in my inbox....  There is no way we are going to get through all of these and lets see how many we will get tomorrow... I told my boss I would not be suprised if we got 350 resumes... His guess was 169 ... Hum. we shall see....
Its just sad so many people need work right now... and we can only hire 1 |

| That is sad.
We hear about the recession and the poor economy on the news, but it's stuff like that that really makes it sink in.
And I know how you feel - you want to help all of them.
Not a fun job.  |
