As the job search continues, I'll share thoughts, ideas, suggestions, links, and perhaps a well-edited, slightly out of control, rant here and there. One of the goals for the post - to somewhat lighten our burden. Of course we've been told over and over: looking for a job is a full time job. Actually, no it isn't..it's much more demanding than a full time job. It can be endless, since unlike you and me, the blessed (and dreaded) internet never sleeps. And it often lacks what we have on our jobs - a boss. Deadlines, demands and reviews all come from within.
However, it does come with benefits, in theory at least - more time with your children; more time to work off the extra 10 lbs.; more time to learn, read, think, self-examine and reconnect. And, plenty of time to network...lots of time for this.
The first couple of posts will be experimental, the direction it takes is unknown as of now. I welcome your comments, always. Keep your eyes open for my next post, very soon.
Try not to 'should' on yourself too much during the search, stay positive - fake it if necessary, and give yourself credit!

Ilana, Glad you were able to break through the 'virtual wall' to leave a comment. I understand that several people had a tough time getting in. Watch for an update tonight, after a Trader Joe's shift
ReplyDeleteVery interesting concept - what a great opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, leads etc. I was a little taken by the title ...last search. Not sure of the intended message but hopefully it is positive driven. I look forward to following your thoughts through this process and the perseverence needed to sustain momentum.
ReplyDeleteYou go, Larry! Blogging is a great way to release the inner soul. I'll check back with the blog after my return to Berlin next week. -Hugh
ReplyDeleteCool idea!
