Reflections on the Journey to Full Employment

I hear on the news that the unemployment rate is the lowest that it's been since 1969. I do still find that hard to believe when the evidence proves otherwise. I may be biased as I still struggle to find that elusive job. Some would say that after seven and half years I should give up. I can't.

I have set milestones of when I need to have at least some contract work. I also have tried to change my attitude towards the job search. At this point I do need to start thinking about how I'm going to sell my services and where I will sell them. In other words I got to start thinking like an entrepreneur and look for revenue streams.

I know that I have to get serious about my freelance writing business. I've had some setbacks, but need to "buckle down" and stop procrastinating. I have to admit that I don't like this independence but no one is going to hand me a job.
