Against All Odds

It's been a while since I checked in. I tried updating my blog a week or so ago, but was having difficulties with the site. I do apologize.

My readership is expanding. Welcome my new friend. Thanks to you, my follower list has just doubled. :>)

It's been five months since my departure from my former place of employment. My resume is finally starting to get some action. I've had a few recruiters contact me for both full-time and contract positions. I also had my first interview about a month ago. Unfortunately, the interviews didn't result in an offer, but I knew going in that the odds were against me. Gotta keep on truckin' as they say.

School has been keeping me very busy. Although a huge drain on my finances and a huge consumer of my time, I'm so thankful to have school as a diversion from job search. It keeps me feeling productive and thus offers hope in such a downtrodden economy.

Ironically enough, my former employer is now hiring. They are again thriving and boast of wanting to hire 2000-3000 people, although they confess that most of the positions are to be filled outside of the United States. I have to block them out of my thoughts. It does no good to dwell on the past and all it does is make me feel ill.

I miss being employed. I wonder how long I can remain positive. I hope a change for the better comes my way soon. I could use some good news for a change.

I wish you all well.
