Already in July 2008 job seekers where feeling the pinch. Highly trained professionals with many year experience were struggling to find a vocational post and where told it was due to the economic climate. What do you do, when you've put everything into it, but there's just no work for you to do? Surely there is work? Surely people need things done? Surely we haven't reached a point when it has all been completed?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1001801931879578007-7925539230347001038?l=imsorryprints.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001801931879578007.post-68334816160697056382009-05-04T13:58:00.000-07:002009-09-04T14:03:40.935-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bHffcP2O_E/SqF_77ctPQI/AAAAAAAAAng/zswG7x6pnBQ/s1600-h/IMG_0160.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bHffcP2O_E/SqF_77ctPQI/AAAAAAAAAng/zswG7x6pnBQ/s400/IMG_0160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377720097604189442" border="0" /></a><br />Many of the rejections were very personal disclosures of experiences of being rejected by love, but some address the issues faced by many who choose a career in the creative arts. It appears that rejection is an occupational hazzard and although it doesn't get any easier to hear that you've just not made it dispite having beared your soul, there is a slight possiblity that someday someone will recognise your talent and also be in a position to assign some paid work to you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1001801931879578007-6833481616069705638?l=imsorryprints.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001801931879578007.post-81660581124912741682009-05-04T13:53:00.000-07:002009-09-04T13:58:12.846-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bHffcP2O_E/SqF_NdBviZI/AAAAAAAAAnY/uIKAXmGINgQ/s1600-h/IMG_0135.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bHffcP2O_E/SqF_NdBviZI/AAAAAAAAAnY/uIKAXmGINgQ/s400/IMG_0135.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377719299164047762" border="0" /></a><br />The text for these prints came from the event in July 2008 where the public shared their experiences of rejection.
