... week 3....?

Um, hello... yes, I'm still here.

Job hunt? Yes, well... that's happening. But not with much success. I don't see many postings for jobs I'm qualified for in the usual locations (Monster, Craigslist, Careerbuilder). I've sent out my resume about a dozen times, total, and either got no response or (in just one case) a flat-out rejection. "Not enough management experience."

(Which, if I think about it, is a reflection on how poor my resume is. I've been a teacher, a choir director, and a seminar manager. Is any of that on my resume? Noooo...)

But I secretly know I'm going about this all the wrong way. Sending e-mails with attachments isn't getting me in the door anywhere. I need to come a-callin' or a-knockin'. But, truth is, I'm not sure exactly where I want to call and knock. Or, to be really honest, I know where I'd like to call and knock, but those would be jobs with gigantic pay cuts for me. And now is not the time for pay cuts. I'm on a mission to pay off debt and support my boyfriend through some schooling.

Sigh. So, back to knocking on the big doors. We'll live in poverty and save the world another day. But if you know a job that would save the world and needs exactly my skills (including management!) and might even compensate me adequately, please send them my way...!

The Next Gig: Music, of course. Orkestar RTW is playing at Georgia's Greek Restaurant on Saturday evening. Admission is free, but do have some dinner. Best Greek food in town!
