Job Search

If you know someone that is out of work and looking for a job, be nice to them! It's a full time job!

I just started looking for a job about 3 weeks ago, and it is one of the hardest things I have ever done. It takes hours to dig through internet job postings. And some companies don't post on Monster or other boards, you have to go to their website to see what they have open.

It's tough, and I'm trying to stay optimistic. Minnesota has very good "WorkForce" Centers, that offer classes and counseling for free. On Tuesday, I took "Resume 101" and it really opened my eyes to how a resume has to sell your skills. I spent yesterday working on my resume, and it is much better now.

Of course I was rejected this week because other candidates "were better qualified" then me. For a temp job? Really? I'm trying not to let rejection bother me, however it gets the best of me sometimes (especially on rainy days).

I'll keep digging....and looking.....and trying!
