Tsk!

Tadaaaa! I'm back from a long hiatus from blog writing. I didn't go on an out of town vacation or was insanely swamped with work. I dunno. I guess I just ran out of ideas to rant and rave about.

But I'm back and a writing I will do.

First thing to share: I have been trying to apply for numerous writing jobs in Odesk. Are you familiar with the site? You just open an account with Odesk.com, create your profile and start applying and submitting your cover letters to various providers. Providers, I'm thinking, is Odesk lingo for Employers.

I've taken and passed some tests to prove that my skills do exist and that they ARE mine. I have uploaded some articles I've written and posted this blog. I have been getting some schedules for interview but unfortunately I'm always turned down for some other applicant.

I am frustrated. This can really be frustrating!!!

My friend told me that I might have to fabricate some details on my profile but I'm not really up to that kind of thing. I am a firm believer that everyone will get their come uppance eventually. So, I'm passing with the fibbing.

The openings I usually apply for ask for articles to be written..mostly blog entries. I know I can (c'mon Elmo! Say it with me: I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!). Alas! I don't think and I don't know why the providers just won't give me any chance!

Anyway, mellow me just appreciates the 2 opportunities (and bitter false hope) given to me to be granted an interview. Interviews which eventually led to emails stating: CANDIDACY ENDED.

Grrrrrrrr!!!

I know I can! I know I can! I know I can!
