The Product of You Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Feb 23: My soul is quiet.
The truth is that I don’t want to do a job search. The truth is I don’t want to work. I just want to be a single mom that can spend time with my kids. I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of being scared that I might lose my job. I’m tired of spending time on my job search and nothing happens.
I just want to sit quietly and wait for this all to pass. And I know it will. I want to sit and just listen to my heart, quiet, accepting and willing to just wait. Is this the wrong way to do a job search? Will it affect my career? Are we really reduced down to what we look like on paper on our resume?
I think not. In fact, I’m not going to think today. I will continue to wait. I will continue to be quiet. I will continue to just sit here. I know my heart will tell me what to do.
I will wait.

The Diary of a Job Searching Woman Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Nov 5: Still don’t want to deal with my Job Search.
I don’t want to do my job search. It’s hard to work and do a job search at the same time. I can’t get everything done in a day and I’m supposed to spend every night working on my job search? Am I changing my resume too much?
I think things are stable at work now. I’m going to put this on the back burner for now.
Why can’t I make up my mind in my life? I feel like I am on a see-saw. Emotionally I am up and then I am down. Just don’t want to deal with the job search, my job or my career for that matter. My kids think I am crazy, and I’m starting to agree with them. Do all single working moms feel this way or just women in general? Or am I just scared of what could happen at work and putting my head in the sand? Or do I just need to be more positive and push this negativity out of my head?
Life shouldn’t be this tough in your 40’s. Shouldn’t things just flow?
I’m so tired of being unappreciated a work and at home. I don’t have any “me time”. Listen to me
now…I’m the ranting single woman with two kids, a job I could lose any day, and I haven’t had a date
in months.
Dear Diary: Am I losing my mind? Or am I just losing my heart?
