I applied for two jobs this morning after a few days of no new opportunities. There’s been more activity than usual over the last six weeks and yet no one has called me to pursue any of these openings. Not only that, but I have not received acknowledgement of any…

One very important lesson I’ve learned while being off from work is that when you are working full-time you really do have to cut yourself some slack. I am home everyday and still can’t get everything done around my home even though I am on the go all day. I…

Once in awhile, a gift arrives on your doorstep — or in this case, my inbox — and you don’t expect it. I am signed up with several employment web sites to receive emails when new jobs are posted that match my skills and interests. Most times, to be honest,…

Today’s blog entry was going to be about how I was hired for the position of my dreams this morning and I start a week from Monday. And then, of course, I would end with APRIL FOOLS! Well, I just can’t do it. There’s not much in life that I…
