Week 2: I lost some ambition and turned to a "to do" that's been on my list for a long time: Organizing old photos stored in my basement. That's overwhelming as I didn't realize that we had so many photos! So I began and eventually I was able to pull together three albums from the "early" best years of my life – circa early '80s to '90s – when I travelled a lot, worked on contract jobs in Israel and California for some time, and met my husband. Along the way, I met many great folks and visited a lot of wonderful places. These photos brought back so many memories and they reminded me of the energy I once had and hopefully I still do.
Week 3: Back to resumes and job hunting. I shortened, chopped, cut-up and spruced-up my resume. Now working with an agency who will guide me in marketing my skills and experience!
Fast-forward to August: I spend my days in my home office on my laptop, looking for employment and training, thinking that if I spend 8+ hours on this, surely a job will miracuously pop-up (LOL)! I haven't been to the gym in 3 weeks, finding it hard to get moving at 5:00 or 5:30 a.m., which is my usual waking time. I'm wondering, along with a dozen other questions that run through my mind, if I will ever find that new adventure. It's unfortunate that our resumes are often the first and only view that a potential employer sees. I say: to know me is to like me. I have something to offer. So while I'm waiting I did what I love to do: I created a professional web page and this blog (thanks to Google, gotta love 'em!) in the hopes that I can show employers what I can do before they read the resume. Not to mention that building my 'professional' page and blog have given me purpose (smile).
