Tuesday's "More of the same"

Today, I have returned to the throry that no matter what I do, I will not get anything in the way of a job without the assistance of another. I just can't seem to find anything worthwhile. The job seminar I attended pointed to some very strict guidelines which need to be followed to be considered for a good paying job. the problem.... The seminar and the people associated with it have not been able to say how to find a recruiter. All anyone says from that LDS group is "send me a copy of your resume" and I never hear anything again. Like most "assistance" from folks, they were big on talk, but short on assistance. On the other side of the coin, I don't think it is fair to lump this as a general statement. The people who have been helping me because they are directly connected to me in one way or the other (my VA reps), they have done a large amount of work with the time that they can actually devote to me one-on-one. That is actually a job I would love to have. Helping people and being able to do it on a one on one basis. I would be good at that I think. (Back to what I was originally thinking) That goes along with my "Church calling". I am (or was)supposed to be the Ward's PC Specialist. The only thing is that no one ever listens to me or includes me in anything related to it. A very good example, the wards PCs all had virus problems. So, since the things didn't have any antivirus as per the IT directive, I fixed them and notified the person who is supposed to actually address the issue. Not only did I not get a response to several calls and e-mails, I was from that point forward removed from any further communication with the group. I would classify that as spite. I don't think I have that calling anymore but I don't know. Not that it matters when no one tells you what is going on.
