Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 23: Networking, Resumes and Job Search.
I can’t sleep. I have versions of my resume swimming around in my head.
Things are worse at work. The meeting we have all been dreading was late yesterday. They will be making cuts in the next three months. I’m supposed to come up with a game plan to lay off 20% of my team. I don’t know where to start. I’m effecting people’s lives and the lives of their families. Yet, I have a business to run. I have to have my new plan on my bosses desk by Monday morning. So much for working on my job search this weekend. But I am making a commitment to work at least 4 hours over the weekend sending out resumes to jobs I have seen on the job boards.
I don’t know what to think about my job. I asked my boss if my job was safe in the cuts. He told me not to worry that they really needed me right now. I went home last night and looked at my bills and savings account and I couldn’t last long without a job. No way! Being a single working mom is tougher than I ever thought it would be when I got my divorce.
Finding it hard to juggle doing a job search with all the issues at work.
I did have several friends pass my resume onto some recruiters…but nothing yet.
I have to stay positive. Just not sure how I can do everything I need to do.
