The Diary of a Job Searching Woman Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Nov 10 – Someone called about my resume!
Oh my gosh! I got a call today from a company that I sent my resume to over a month ago. It was hard to keep calm on the phone when the lady from the HR department called. They have the perfect job for me. It’s a Program Manager position with a larger department then I have right now. This could be a great step for my career. I have a phone interview next Tuesday.
I’m going to do research on the company’s website and look up the company on LinkedIn and see who the players are so I’m very prepared for my interview.
Maybe things are turning my way after all in my job search! Can’t even talk about work. It’s like a mad house and I have a big meeting tomorrow with my boss. You know there has to be a bomb shell there. All the execs are behind closed doors and my boss is hardly talking with me cause he is under so much stress.
I’m going to forget all about work and concentrate on my phone interview next week.
This single working mom is on top of things!

The Diary of a Job Searching Woman Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Oct 7: Need a new job, need a new resume. No time to do anything.
I had the greatest intention today of sitting down to work on my resume, but everything went crazy. Bethany hit my buttons this morning and when I finally dropped the kids off at school, I was fried.
At work, everything went wrong, and I rushed from one meeting to the next. Client was upset and two of my key people called in sick. My mind is in a whirlwind. I started making a list about what I bring to the table as a Program Manager, so I think I have some good thoughts on putting together my resume. A couple of my girlfriends told me that resumes have to have buzz words on them, but I’m not sure how to do it. I’m a smart woman and good at what I do, I just have to convey it on my resume. I love my job here and don’t want to leave, but if I do, I woul like to move into a new industry and move up the ladder in my career.
My boss was behind closed doors today and so I couldn’t talk with him about my position. The last thing I need is to be laid off.
Ran home and did dinner, worked with Bethany on her Biology assignment and I’m off to bed. So many things going through my mind…I can’t think.
