Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 6: Found my resume. Need to look for a new job.
Today is Tuesday. Yesterday my boss returned to work and called me into his office. He had me sit down. Oh my gosh! It seemed that the world stood still as he began to talk. He told me that there is a merger coming. A larger company is going to buy our company and there will probably be lay offs. He told me that he would need me to help with everything. Even with a zillion thoughts running through my head, I found myself muttering, “of course, whatever you need me to do.” He told me that our conversation was confidential and reminded me that I had signed a confidentiality agreement. I found myself nodding.
Don’t even remember leaving his office.
I found my resume over the weekend and started working on it tonight. Finding a new job won’t be easy in this economy, but I have good skills and have a good track record, so I’m going to be optimistic. I’m a little edgy tonight. One of my girlfriends said that was normal with what I am going through. I looked on some job boards, but I’m told that job boards aren’t the best place to look for a new job. Not sure what to do.
Will think about it tomorrow. I should have time to call some of my network tomorrow and ask for help.
