Welcome to Job Hunt Round 2:<\/strong> Electric Boogaloo!<\/p>\n

For the record, I have no idea where that reference came from, nor do I know what an Electric Boogaloo actually is. But it sounds like fun, and I am determined to have fun with reentering the job search process. I\u2019ve done the whole placement conference thing, and experienced the whole multiple rejection thing. Had that soul-crushing moment where two of my top three schools rejected me within the same two hour span. And\u2026 now I\u2019m over it.<\/em><\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m starting the search over again, but it feels like a lot less pressure this time.<\/strong><\/em> There\u2019s no cramming 10+ interviews into two days. There\u2019s no rush to schedule, research, pack, travel, interview, et cetera. Although I know that for many positions I\u2019m competing with up to 50 applicants again, I\u2019m not forced to sit in a room with them before my interview and wonder how we compare. And there\u2019s none of that added stress of wondering if you\u2019ll be rejected or not and what it will be like. I\u2019ve been rejected. It\u2019s not fun. But I\u2019ve learned it\u2019s not the end of the world either.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve mostly run out of schools to apply to in my original, admittedly small, geographic preference area. Several supervisors and mentors have shared insights about other places in the US that might fit what I\u2019m looking for in a climate. (That would be no earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes.) So I\u2019ve expanded to truly have a nationwide search, and have found some interesting opportunities that I wouldn\u2019t have found otherwise.<\/p>\n

As I said in an earlier post, I am lucky to not have anything in life that keeps me tied to a certain area. Though my original search area overwhelmingly rejected me, I still have 47 other states with opportunities. <\/strong>And there are still positions being posted!<\/em><\/p>\n

So many people tried to tell me that life wasn\u2019t over after placement conferences. <\/strong><\/em>That those were not the be-all, end-all of job postings. It was hard to believe that during placement conference season when the Twitter streams, Facebook statuses, and real-life conversations of all my friends revolved around Oshkosh and Chicago. But I have found that although the number of postings has slowed since late February, they have not stopped. Jobs are still opening up, and that is promising as well.<\/p>\n

So far I\u2019ve found a couple more jobs that I\u2019m interested in, and am sending out another batch of applications tomorrow. It\u2019s a lot more laid back to be in round two. There\u2019s not as much pressure, there\u2019s not as much stress, and there\u2019s even more support and parking lot pep talks than round one. Besides, if I don\u2019t find a job until August I\u2019ve got all summer to travel, sleep, and learn to surf.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Editor’s Note: Shannon’s a millennial, so she is too young to really know what the early days of rap and break-dancing were all about. For readers in a similar state of ignorance, “Electric Boogaloo” is a reference to Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo<\/a>, a movie where break-dancing brings enemies together to save their neighborhood from a bunch of “suits.” Apparently boogaloo is also a type of Latin music and a type of lyre or harp, like King David played in the Bible. The things you can learn from the internet!]<\/em><\/p>\n

[Editor’s note, part 2: Shannon will be a guest on the Higher Ed Career Coach BlogTalkRadio show Friday April 16 at 11 am EST. We’ll be discussing rejection and starting over in your job search. <\/em>We’ll also be talking to Stacy Oliver about”parking lot pep talks” and other ways to help job seekers stay encouraged. Bryan Koval will be co-hosting, and I will try to sound smart, say practical things, and not make up to much stuff. Listen in and call in with your job search questions or comments, as they relate to rejection and starting over.
