I AM unemployable! Here are the symptoms: I worked in the same company for 27 years and became completely institutionalized.I was made redundant at 48. I walked away with a cash package and didn’t even empty my locker or turn up to the leaving party.I’ve three times in my life, dropped my address book in the trash and started again.I’m best friends with people for 20 minutes, then I can’t trust them.I am a perfectionist. You will never be able to do it, the way I want it done.I am an inventor. I am a dreamer.I haven’t paid income tax for 5 years. I will never pay income tax again….. ever.I don’t read, listen to music, or I have any interest in current affairs.I am not a team player.There are no lighthouse keeper jobs anymore.I hate children. Especially, if they’re in the same restaurant as me.I hate bad parents more. Especially if they’re in the same restaurant as me I emigrated to a country where charity work and religious involvement are almost compulsory. I am completely critical of religion and charity work.My parents divorced when I was 3.Apart from good cooking, I’ve had virtually no parental support.I have had virtually no education.I have no qualifications at all.My two children are at university and doubtless will qualify highly. They’ve never failed at anything, ever. We love each other but barely speak.I have met my true soul mate. We shun other humans.I’m disappointed in life. I can’t help it, I just am.unbelievably, I’m completely positive about everything.There is no such thing as luck.I write my own future. I think it so….. and it is so. I AM unemployable! I have no idea what’s next.

[...] reason I’m unemployable is that I’m unhappy working in someone else’s organization. I think too fast and [...]

You don't need cohones to make baby-step changes, right? Over time they'll
add up to a giant leap, but one at a time they're not daunting at all!

great post kim, I think you are such a rockstar.
I definitely see some of myself in your post, I only wish I had the cahones to make the changes in my life to allow more creativity into my 9-5, or 10-4, or 11-3….

I think there's a lot of ladies out there who are "unemployable" like you. I'm one of them. Not such a bad thing when you get to constantly rediscover and recreate what matters to you and how to go about making a buck. The possibilities really are endless :)

I'm having a fine art giveaway over at my blog if you might be interested in an 8 x 8 giclee original (by me):

Aw, that might be the best thing anyone's ever said to me about my
“employability” Thanks, Dawn.

*snort* Because of your unrelenting self-awareness, you my dear are still and likely forever will be the most untraditionally employable person I know.

I love it!
Especially since I left HR and it was all about the “benefits”.

Maybe “unemployed benefits” could be a manifesto of sorts? For the
unemployable?
