Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 27: Rewriting my resume.
Obviously something is wrong. No one is calling. It has to be my resume. I stayed up last night to work on the resume. I wasn’t really sure what to do. I picked up a book at the bookstore on resumes and tried a new format. I need to showcase what I have done in the past so I can get the phone to ring!
I’m sick of spending time on the job boards which is every night now. There seems to be a lot of jobs out there that I am qualified for. No one is calling! I’ve been grabbing about 30 minutes on the computer before I go to work to apply for more jobs. Yesterday, I spent my lunch hour applying for jobs, but that was with my old resume. I’m going to re-post my new resume on some of the job boards and hopefully someone will call me.
This single working mom thing is tougher than I thought. But I’m a lot better than I was when I was married. I was surfing last night on the internet when I couldn’t sleep and found an excerpt of a book on SingleMindedWomen.com. It really hit home. It was talking about what happens after a divorce and how it can pull the rug from right underneath you. Boy, I feel that way now. Alone…I mean really alone, but somehow better.
Now, if I can only find a new job that’s good for my career, things would be a lot more calmer. I’m tough. I will just keep plugging away. I’m good at what I do. Something will turn up.
But…will it be enough money? Can’t think about that now.
