Hi everyone,I've been applying for jobs left and right, every day, every week...and I've been getting pretty frustrated. Finally, I've decided that since I'm not doing anything anyways, I might offer myself as a volunteer. That way I could prove myself as being a capable, competent worker to someone before they agreed to hire me. I wrote a long letter to the Council for International Development, which is an umbrella organization for 92 different not-for-profits dealing with international development. They responded and, miraculously, they said that they'd let me state my case in their newsletter, which goes out to the not-for-profits on a regular basis. So I restructured my original letter until it was under 200 words, and it is now ready to be printed. It is strange to think of almost 100 organizations reading my letter...I hope that I don't come across as desperate. Or maybe I am desperate?
I hope something comes of it.
Love, Amy

Hi Amy!
Hey I am struggling to find a decent job in the U.S.!! So don't get discouraged, although I know how completely frustrating and discouraging it can be! If people would just give you a chance instead of seeing your name on paper...grrrr.
And you can't feel like you have failed if you are working hard at trying, and it sounds like you are. Hope you guys are doing well!!!
