As exciting as it can be to start a new job the actual process of finding a new job can be something of a nightmare. Finding a new job is much more than just opening the paper and circling a few want ads and it is the many things that can go with finding a new job that can have many people feeling a bit of hate in their hearts.
Here are some things to hate about finding a new job:

•Putting up with your current job: A lot of times the whole reason you want to find a new job is because your current job is not all that great. But you do have bills to pay and until you secure a new job you can’t go anywhere. That means you are pretty much stuck putting up with a boss, or a co worker, or both that you don’t get along with and your days can just seem endless. Then to top it all off, once you do find a new job you still need to give your current employer two weeks notice.
•Writing your resume: Then there is the time consuming chore of writing your resume. You have to ensure that not only is your resume fresh but that it is relevant to the job you are trying to get. If you are applying for several different positions then that task becomes even more daunting.
•Distributing your resume: After you craft the perfect resume you then have to spend even more time uploading your resume to potential employers online, or faxing out tons of resumes to the businesses themselves. What a hassle. The absolute worst is when you go through the process of uploading your resume online and go through about twenty different steps only to find that the resume can’t be uploaded for some technical reason. Is your face red yet?
•Interviews: Once you actually have some employers look at your resume you now find yourself with the challenge of going in for an interview. What will they ask you? What will you say? How do you stop the butterflies in your stomach? This is enough to make even the most well grounded person stress out and can have you literally seeing stars.
•The waiting game: You interview for your dream job and you think you nail it. The interviewer seems very impressed and your confidence couldn’t be higher. Then you hear those dreaded words, ‘We’ll let you know.’ Now you leave feeling deflated but still want to hold on to hope but how long do you wait? Do you take more interviews that come available ort urn them away hoping for the best? This is enough to make you rip your hair out of your head and scream.
When you look at the facts it is little wonder why so many people simply put up with the jobs they have. While there may be some stress at their current jobs, it usually pales in comparison to the stress and hate that is felt when attempting to find a new one.
