Jobless economy

ADVERTISEMENT

The Tampa Tribune

Published: November 5, 2009

I suppose I exemplify the jobless economy. I have a bachelor's degree in political science and several years experience in marketing and have been unemployed for more than a year.

They say 40 is the new 30. Maybe from a visual context but certainly not economic.

I am speculating, of course, because the rejection letter is a thing of the past. When did the potential employer simply stop responding? Is efficiency so much more relevant than common courtesy?

Of course, the irony will be this letter will not be printed, and I will never quite know why. Got any ideas?
