Fingers Crossed

[queenoftheskies]

Well, I hit Career Builders this morning to see what kinds of jobs there were within 20 miles from my home.

I picked the best and e-mailed resumes/applied online.

14 jobs in all. 2 resumes bounced back. They were through an agency, which tells me the recruiter probably no longer works with them. Both resumes were addressed to the same recruiter.

That still leaves 12 possibilities. I think two of them were from 10 days ago, but most were posted within the past week.

All I can do now is wait to see what happens with those, send resumes to agencies, and watch Career Builders and Monster.com daily to see what else I can apply for.

I know it won't be an overnight solution. It could take months to get a job. So, for now, starting next Monday, I'll be enduring the commute from hell.

But, at least I'm trying.

Fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear that things are going so crummy! Hope things start turning around for you soon. Best of luck!

If you post your resume on Monster, remember to renew it weekly. That puts it on the top of the pile again. Someone told me this once, and the day I did it, I got a call that led to a job. :)

Don't forget CalJobs... big resource that often gets overlooked in the job hunt (or so a job placement counselor friend in Cali was telling me last week).

Good luck and congrats on the continuing nibbles! *hugs*
