Looking for a job is a job in and of itself. My day now consists of spending about 5 hours each morning sending out résumés, signing up on job boards, and working on updating my portfolio.
I’ve signed up with a small temp agency and if nothing happens there I’ll be calling/visiting other temp agencies as well. One good thing to come out of this is learning how to handle being fired with potential employers. That, more than anything else, unnerved me so the advice I got from the temp agency was invaluable to me.
Right now I’m waiting to hear if I meet the requirements to go on an interview for a marketing assistant position. It sounds like the kind of work I’d enjoy doing and I know it would be a position where I could learn and grow.
I did get my final paycheck, which means my rent will be paid for July, so I have about a month to get some income flowing, and yes, that eased my mind somewhat even though it didn’t ease the pressure.
Okay … back to the job at hand! Have a good weekend!
