Looking for a job is the pits. It really is. Last week, I sent out ten resumes. I heard back on one, but only so far as to say that they had received it and will contact me if I meet their requirements. So far, I haven't heard back from them. Which is a shame, because it was similar to what I had done before (copy editor/editorial manager), but maybe a half-step up. And the commute would be do-able. And really, no matter what you see on these pages, I really am good at what I do, and I really liked the idea of working for that place.
So today, I finally bit the bullet and registered with three local temp agencies. One of them is Manpower, and I registered with about seven local offices. How convenient that I could do it all online. I found my last job, which turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, through one of those temp agencies. Back then, I just registered with one as a walk-in. And now I've registered with nearly ten offices--and I didn't have to leave my bedroom.
Ideally, I'd like to have a work-at-home position. Telecommuting is way attractive to me right now, though I wouldn't count on getting one.
What would your ideal job be?
