Brandy is hoping and not moping...
I need to get bills paid. I need a job. A real insurance job. Tom’s mother offered me marketing part time at the spa. I’m doing it. For now, since its the holidays its Chamber of Commerce meetings and after hours networking…maybe I’ll be able to market myself, too.
Today I really got nothing done online in regard to a job. What, is one going to magically appear? What am I waiting for? Why can’t I get off my ass and motivated?
I secretly like being a stay at home mom thats why.
There I said it.

Today I was a good girl and spent a fairly decent amount of time searching, posting, emailing for a job.
Go me. Go me.

Realistic
1) because I have a great resume
2) I have experience
3) I like what I do
4) I am good at it
5) I am young
6) and still teachable.
I just need to get off my ass and get serious.

...if one could magically appear I’d take it. I’d even consider it if it wasn’t in insurance. Sitting around with my brother (also jobless) I again panicked and became full of despair. Who hires in Nov/Dec? No one. Aughrrr. I need sunshine and happiness and lots of sex and pastries. And a job.

...Watched two movies and visited Mom twice already. Now all I can think about is getting a little drunk so I dont feel restless, so I can park it on the couch for a few hours until I fall asleep for the night.
This is not fun. Boredom sucks.
I need a job. I need motivation to get up out of my funk today.

I graduated 3 years ago and have worked at the same telecommunications company ever since. I am not moving forward. This is a job, not a career. I am ready to move on to something I love and something I find value in. My goal is to find a job I am proud of in the next month. I want to do this through networking, LinkedIn, and using friends.

My honey dropped by unexpectedly tonight while I was putting Dylan down to bed- he practically threw his phone at me and said to make a phone call. His work buddys wife works at IOA and she has the perfect job opening for me to apply to. I am so excited! The talk was informal and went well, at quarter to nine pm no less!
Here’s to HOPING AND NOT MOPING!

...posting resumes takes some serious strength out of a person! The websites should have some great music playing in the background and zippier pages for faster posting for some of us that are very computer literate. And it seriously bugs me that I am redirected to a company’s website to repost my resume and sometimes even take a quiz.
Day one of serious searching has commenced and I need a nap already.

Day one sounds so omnious. I am still in my funk somewhat so I have no patience to read “how I did it”’s and other people’s comments on the same topic but its comforting to know that there are so many of you out there. I say that sarcastically because now I am one of the legion. And that is doomsday scary to me. Change is good and the winds of change are always blowing but I like my slow and steady and safe is good mantras that I always used to get by. Day one and I can’t get myself motivated for the moment to really post my resume and read up on what to expect when you’re all the sudden jobless and almost about to have a panic attack because you’re fridge is already scant enough and you have babies to feed. Aughrrrr. Day one sucks already and Day two might not be better but I was reminded by my Mom that I am “normal” and this will get better and so too will I get a job, soon.
Here’s to hoping and NO MOPING!
