Today, I got my fourth rejection email in two weeks. This time, it was from a very basic job working in a call center, where the only job would be to direct calls to other places when people dialed the general number. FML
Just kidding. After pouting for a good five minutes (bad words may have been said), I got over it. A few hours later, here I am. I have decided that if people do not want to hire me, perhaps it is a sign from the universe that I am meant to be in business for myself. Very early in 2009, my partner and I started our own business doing web development and marketing/PR work. We failed to follow through on doing anything, as always. It became our favorite pastime some time in 2008 to start projects on a whim whenever bored and never follow through. MNP Hoppal was only one of these projects.
However, with much meditation, and sensing a sign from the universe, I have decided to return to business for myself as a web designer and a writer (a la Jen Lancaster). Sure, the pay is not great. And perhaps I should still be finding a day job (goodness knows I probably won’t have much luck there). But for now, I think freelancing it may be my best bet for both developing skills and qualifications and for paying bills.
I’ve already recently met with a client, and when I return to Ruidoso from Denver, I will begin soliciting business. Wish me luck.
As always, if you find me particularly awesome (I know I do), I can be contacted for work at michael@hoppal.com.
