Professional profile after 2 months of unemployment

Warning: Highly ironic blog is ahead of you. Do not read if you are depressed or very sympathetic. The following blog is written in accordance with a professional profile that I am supposed to include with a CV. 

Background: Recently graduated cand.mag who's strongest side is definitely not to sell herself on paper, so no one really gets to meet her in the first place - but whatever. 

Experience: Cleaning the apartment, washing clothes correctly and other relevant domestic activities. I know, not exactly what you are supposed to do on a work day, but with every day being like the other, something has to happen to pretend that some kind of progress is in motion. Thus, one might as well include it all. Going out to eat lunch or drink coffee at a café once in a while during the daytime: Highly relevant professional experience in order not to destroy the 4 walls surrounding you 24/7. Never EVER tell someone that "you'll find something easily" without expecting a sucker-punch in the face resulting in bruising in some sort. That identity crisis is not exclusively concerns the lives of the one's attempting to choose an education: It unfortunately also makes its way to the one's of us who graduated (or at least some of us).

Outcome for the relevant company: Well. Uhm. Pass. I guess. 

Thus, once more proving that the feeling of having absolutely nothing to offer in a future employment is what fills the existence of the undersigned.


Best regards,

The perks of being unemployed

It is probably the most frustrating being passionate, interested and finished an education within one specific field, however, not being able to find the job within this field - and when one does find a job within this one competes with what seems like several hundred other people. 

I will always argue that one should choose education by heart and not by reason, because I argue that it is easier to act with reason within a field you are passionated about - like working voluntarily within the field in order to gain experience and knowledge of a field one is passionated about. But we are all different and work differently. 

In my situation, where I find seeking for a job the same as climbing the worlds biggest mountain and I am frustrated by not knowing what or where I will end I hold on to the fact that there will be brighter days and hopefully one of those will have a job in store for me. 

Good Tuesday to you all. 

Everyday Tales: Tales from the unemployed! Oh, and a little on the fact that I am bikeless.

This was the week my bike got stolen. Living in a country where a bike is essential in order to get around, I must admit I got angry and sad and annoyed! Not having a bike in Denmark is like not eating a croissant in France or not eating pizza in Italy. #MYpropertynotyours #DoNOTtouchmystuff

This was also the week I got to experience the glory of being unemployed in Denmark! Yay for civil systems that makes you not money-less even though you are a newly educated graduate without a job! #Sorryforgloating #IlovetheDanishsystem

However, this is also a week of self reflection, as I am still rather lost regarding the business and work-marked! #Wheretobegin #WhoamI #WhatdoIwannado #Selflifecrisis #Argh!!!!

Ending this blog on a more happy note I have managed to make this summer Cakes specials three or four times (imaged down bellow). Both glutenfree and milkfree pieces of heaven. The Cheesecake recipe is in Danish and you can find it here! #Ifyourdanishtryitout #heaveninacake #eatingcakemakesmelovelife #notetoself:Importanttomakecheesecaketheeveningbeforehavingtoeatit!

Change, the unavoidable force coming our way

Life seems to change around me in a speed where I can't keep track. I am finished with studying and is applying for a real grown-up job, friends are changing their social status from in a relationship to married, and other friends are changing from family of two to family with kids.

Sometimes changes seems more visible when a person gets a boyfriend. Gets married. Becomes a mother. All things relating to a relationship with another person. Being single, changes is more of a internal nature - not as visible as when you are two people changing each others lifes to become more compatible with the twosome they are trying to create together. Because no matter how they see their lifes, when one life becomes part of another, people change. I believe that it's supposed to change people. Having two different people trying to make a common foundation for their future life together.

Embracing singleness means embracing and holding on to the changes that are happening in your life, without relation to another human being.

I have a degree now.
I am applying for a job.
I am looking and dreaming of buying my own space.
I am dreaming of becoming an author.
I am planing a travel to The US, on my own.

All life-changing experiences that might not terminate in a lifelong commitment like marriage might symbolise, but still will make a change in me. Once I wore a more boyish stile, now I have a tad more feminine look. Once I had a mother and a father, now I only have a mother. Once I thought I wanted a family: Husband, kids and dog. Now, I honestly just want to live the life I was granted to the fullest. Travel. Meet people. Experience cultures. Things change. We change. I changed!

I guess the goal is not to look at the things I didn't get to experience, but all the experiences I gained and all the experiences that are yet to come!
