So, as anyone who has been here a couple times might have guessed, I am finding the challenge of securing a job following my relocation very difficult. The CounterClock ticks ever onward, marking the days since I last toiled away and collected a paycheck. Panic has begun to set in. And it is damn difficult to network when you live somewhere that you don’t know anyone.
The week came to a close with a fairly quiet Friday. Nary a peep from any of the inquiries I’ve made this week save a couple of form rejections in the ol’ email box.
Tonight, Other Half came home from work and told me that it is his boss’s last day (it was a voluntary thing, he didn’t get fired or something) and that boss had given Other Half his email address with instructions to email MY resume to him so when he’s out & about in his new position and he finds someone looking for help, he can drop my resume on them. So, hey… I may get my foot in the door some places that I normally wouldn’t have… how cool is that? And this is someone who doesn’t even know me which is pretty cool, I’d say.
So, hooray for networking even if it is a tich convoluted. Of course, I’m not going to rely on this netting me a job, but it might be helpful. And I will take all the help I can get right now.
Hey,
Don’t give up and take what ever help you can get no matter how small it seems. Keep Your chin up it will all workout.
