find a job

Most of my friends and readers of my blog already know that I have found a job. It’s even better than my last. I get a bit overwhelmed sometimes but it is working out pretty well.

I am working in another major wealth management/investment firms and while I am not particularly fond of my shift. The people I come in contact with are great.

In all I am happy and proud to be employed again. It expands my possibilities greatly and I just missed being able to spend and not have to worry about my next meal.

That being said, I wish you all, who are still looking, the best of luck. Anyone who might like to exchange staffing agency info in New York City feel free to send me a message.

The other day I said no news could be good news, but when it is prolonged it most likely is bad news. I did not get the job. Time to make this happen. I am not sure what direction I am going in, but I need to get stuff going. Maybe it’s time to take another direction.

I sent out ecards to the recruiters and headhunters I had mad contact with at the agencies for Christmas and New Years. Thanking them, wishing them well and letting them know I am looking forward to working with them in the new year. I even sent one to the recruiter at my previous agency, who knows if I will ever cross paths with him again.

The day after Xmas I had an interview for a word processor position which seemed to go very well. I am waiting on feedback. The hiring manager is on vacation. She should be back on Monday. I guess in this case no news is good news. I am still looking though. Who knows something better may turn up.

I have been out of work for about 6 months now. I did not apply for unemployment right away, not until about 2 months in. I depleted my savings.

Recently, they cut off my unemployment. They are saying I lied on the application and they want me to pay the unemployment I did collect back. Hmmm, you know I am going to appeal this right?

I did get to work two days last week and I have an interview tomorrow morning. Things will get better, they couldn’t get any worse or could they?

I have been looking for a new job since I lost my last one at the end of June. I was a Presentation Specialist/Graphics Operator. I have been up for several positions that were either in line or parallel to my objective, but they all seemed to fall through. With the current hiring freeze in the industry I have few options. I can shoot below, take a job for now that isn’t going to get me anywhere, I can sit and wait or I can either shoot for something above and fill in the blanks as I go, which I am sure I can.

I think sharpening my lesser promoted skills over the next few weeks and maybe putting together a simple portfolio of stuff that simply shows that I have the ability might work nicely for me. Time to start leveraging my hidden talents.
