The Future

We're already in the second week of August and I have yet to finish my resume or to start looking for applications and job openings. I guess that's not entirely true since I did poke around on Monster.com and JobfinderUSA.com yesterday to search for openings in the area (of which there apparently are none). I still feel like I've wasted my summer and soon my time at my current job will be over, which means the money will run out, and I was hoping to have something lined up before that happened.

I really need to get this ball rolling. As my mom pointed out the other day, I only have about a month left of work and then I'll need to have another job, or else have no money to pay my bills and to live off of, which isn't really an option. So, I need to find something ASAP, which means getting off my lazy butt and doing stuff.

The only problem is that I only have a few short days before my Florida trip, so I know I won't be very productive in the preparation of my resume and the search for a job. So I'm making a goal to start all that the week after I get back. I'm almost done with my resume, so if I have our Career Services Coordinator check over it sometime on the 24th, then I can start putting that out on some of my 1/2 days that week.

Sure, it sounds like a great plan, but can I do it? We'll see.

I think I did the opposite thing that you did. I started at the end of spring quarter and was like a mad woman sending out so much stuff, but now I'm so burnt out that I haven't done anything about it in at least 2 weeks. Looks like we're both going to be unemployed :-(
