Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 30: The Job Searching Blow-up!
Well something has to give. I decided to revamp my resume again. Bought another book at the bookstore yesterday and will take another stab at the resume tomorrow. I sent an email out to my contacts to tell them I was still in the market and I asked them for more help.
There are two networking events with other job seekers here in my area every week. I am going to go to both next week and do some networking. I did a google search and found more recruiters. I posted my resume on some recruiter websites. Still applying to lots of job postings on the job boards, but I feel like my resume is going into a big hole. Not sure what else to do. A friend of mine that got laid off 4 months ago is still looking. I feel trapped! This job search stuff is really discouraging.
Work is crazy. My boss told me that senior management would be making more changes. I asked him what “more changes” meant. He told me not to worry. Easy for him to say, his wife works in a management job so they have two incomes. I’m a single working mom with not much savings. My kids and I deserve more than scraping by. I need to make more money, but I guess I’m lucky that I even have a job in this economy.
Then there is my career. I’m in my 40’s and I have to have a plan to move up the ladder. How do you do that so I can make more money and be more secure?
On OVERWHELM. Don’t even want to think about this more today. Got to go and pick up Bethany at a friend’s house. They are studying for the big test tomorrow. I think I’ll pick up some ice cream on the way home. That will perk me up!
