		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Feb 22:  The stress is effecting my body.
Now physical stress on my body because of all the emotional stress at work.  Why is it when I am really stressed out that something happens physically to my body?  I get a cold or the flu and I end up in bed.
I’m not a doctor of course, but I do know that this happens.  Why can’t I control my inner emotions?  Why does my body react when I am freaking out inside about my job and my career?  What do I really want to do with my life?  How do I balance that with my responsibilities as a single working mom with two kids in school?  Can a woman really “have it all?”  Or does that just happen for some women?
I do know that the grass is always greener on the other side and I know that other women struggle with this as well.  We all have responsibilities of one kind or another and that over half of the women in the US are single…a lot of them are moms like me.
So how do I get my fear and uncertainty under control?  If someone knows the answer, I wish they would share it.  I sure need some help with this.  And who better to help than other women.

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Nov 2:  Giving up on my Job Search.

It's no use.  No one is hiring.  No one is calling.  I am just about at my wits end.  What is the matter with me?  Why isn't anyone calling me about a job?  This job searching stuff is discouraging!

I'm gonna chuck this whole job search thing.  Throw the resume out the window and just suffocate myself with chocolate.  I feel like my career is spiraling downward.

I feel old and fat.  Undesirable.  My life as a single woman is just that...single.  That means "1".  It means I'm alone. 

Off to the bathtub for me.  First, the pantry to where that big chocolate bar is. Don't think I will go to work in the morning.  I need a day for me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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, 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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Oct 23:  Networking, Resumes and Job Search.

I can't sleep.  I have versions of my resume swimming around in my head.

Things are worse at work.  The meeting we have all been dreading was late yesterday.  They will be making cuts in the next three months.  I'm supposed to come up with a game plan to lay off 20% of my team.  I don't know where to start.  I'm effecting people's lives and the lives of their families.  Yet, I have a business to run.  I have to have my new plan on my bosses desk by Monday morning.  So much for working on my job search this weekend.  But I am making a commitment to work at least 4 hours over the weekend sending out resumes to jobs I have seen on the job boards.

I don't know what to think about my job.  I asked my boss if my job was safe in the cuts.  He told me not to worry that they really needed me right now.  I went home last night and looked at my bills and savings account and I couldn't last long without a job.  No way!  Being a single working mom is tougher than I ever thought it would be when I got my divorce.

Finding it hard to juggle doing a job search with all the issues at work.

I did have several friends pass my resume onto some recruiters...but nothing yet.

I have to stay positive.  Just not sure how I can do everything I need to do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women: The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Oct 20:  I'm a Single Minded Woman looking for a New Job!

Got a little side tracked at work yesterday.  Things were crazy.  It's hard to have a job and look for a new job at the same time.  I was on "overdrive" today, so I thought I would take a break and clear my head.  I was surfing  for online resources and I found the online magazine, <a href="http://www.singlemindedwoman.com">singlemindedwomen.com</a>
The site has great information, not only about careers, but about money, relationships and health.  There is even some information about being a single mom which I found helpful.

I'm determined to take charge of my life, my job search and my career and stop reacting to all the worry, guilt and fear!  Why do women feel that?  I feel like being a single woman that I am even more alone.  I know I'm a strong independent single women and I can make things happen at work and at home, but it's a little overwhelming.

I know the right job is out there.  I just hope I can find it before things blow up here at the office.  I try and smile.  I am hopeful, but some days I feel like the world is crashing down on top of me.

Really didn't want to be at work today working.  I wanted to work on my life, job search, career and on me, but reality hits square between the eyes and it's back to reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Oct. 8: How do you work and look for a new job?

Totally frustrated!  It seems that no matter how hard I try, there never any time for me.  I know I need to be working on my resume and start my list of networking contacts, but who has time?  My house is a mess and Bethany and Eric need me too.  I forgot to make the appointment for the dog's rabies shot.  Being a single working mom,  and looking for a job is not easy.  I've been thinking about working on my resume for over two weeks and have done nothing!  What is wrong with me?

Tomorrow is another day.  I will work on my resume when I get home from work and start my networking list.
I talked with a couple of my friends today about their job search and it's slow going.  I feel something is terribly wrong at work and I also feel like I'm on a treadmill going no where.

Think I need a piece of that left over brownie...that will relax me.  ]]></description>
