It Continues...

In the beginning there was the move and it was good and life-giving. A chance to start over somewhere fresh and unencumbered. There was new hope, new experiences, new horizons, but that was then, this is now, now there is merely the drive. The drive to find work, the drive to procure gainful employment. This is a more difficult feat than I was lead to believe. It is a new world here and therefore I have left behind all those whom I knew and respected and networked with, creating an empty slate that has yet to be filled. I am hoping that this slate will become full again once I have entered the Graphic Design work force here. At this point in time I wonder, am I missing something? Is it my credentials or the province that I have come from? Is there some unwritten rule or bias towards Ontarians that I am unaware of? Or do I merely lack the necessary qualifications that the majority of completely "over-reaching" employers are looking for? I can't imagine anyone living up to the expectations of many of the graphic design postings here and what the employers are looking for. Often absolutely unreasonable and insane, requiring not only knowledge of graphic design and all programs associated with that profession but also knowledge of multiple coding or programming languages, as if that is ever part of a graphic design program. 

Well I guess I have griped enough now. Time to get back to my website redesign.
