Fate... although a day late
I've been thinking about my 'career' for a while.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my job, I don't spend every moment cursing my boss or my staff under my breath (although I have been in jobs where I have) but I am feeling that there's something missing, something else I could be doing - something else I should be doing.
...and I wanted to have a blog.
So here we are, I'm blogging about my job hunting, but more generally I'm blogging about job hunting. I did a quick search on the internet and couldn't find anything similar - so this serves two purposes. The first, purely egotistically, as a personal presence on the internet. The second, more altruistically, as a resource for anyone else going through the same process. If it is helpful, let me know. If it isn't helpful, let me know. If someone else is doing it better, then you may as well put me out of my misery as well.
And the name? Well, I wanted something unique but meaningful, and a search revealed that St Cajetan is the patron saint of job-hunters, not only that but his saint day was yesterday. I'm not religious but couldn't ignore a coincidence like that - I mean, how often do you realise you missed a saint's day by 24 hours?

While searching for information on St. Cajetan, I came across your blog as well as this novena which I started praying tonight:
http://graceandspace.org/welcome/component/docman/doc_download/6-novena-to-st-cajetan.html
That novena (prayers for a particular intention made over a series of days) has an intro bio of St. Cajetan that explains why he is a friend of those seeking work. He founded a bank that loaned money without interest to help those in need - such as those without work. In his day, loan sharks abounded and preyed on those in difficult straits...
As a Catholic, I can say that it is my faith that gives meaning to why we work. :)
Best wishes for your career goals!
