I'm working as a temp at the moment. It's dull. I feel understimulated. It's a dead end job. I want out.
I've applied for so many jobs over the past few months and there's something on my CV that employers can't seem to get over.
Is it that I have a drug habit? Nope
Is it that I have a criminal record? Nope
Is it that I have any other damning personal traits? Nope
In fact, the thing that goes against me is something I worked hard for. It's something I wanted all of my childhood. It's something I achieved and then realised that there had to be more than life than the stress it involved.
The thing that employers can't seem to get over is that I am a qualified teacher. Something about this word calls out to them and tells them to not even give me an interview.
So I am stuck as a temp. With a power mad colleague 6 years younger than me who despite being the same grade as me seems to believe that she is more important.
I seem to be stuck on dead end street and I need a way out before I die of boredom!

I know how you feel. I temped for about 2 years working in an office where a good section of the staff were temps. The ones who were permanent viewed us with distain. The fact that I was over qualified for the job I was doing made no different because I was from the "Agency".
It may seem like forever now but you'll be out of there soon enough. Sometimes you've just got to serve the time.
