My frustration level is rising as my money is getting lower. In the past two weeks, I've applied for over 20 jobs, with no results. The temp agency who submitted my app to a couple companies has not heard from one of them. The other said they are overwhelmed with the number of apps they have received and don't want to see anymore. I think the answer really is in who you know. I spent this morning and part of the afternoon depressed.
So, I took the dogs for a brief walk (it is 95 degrees here), and then went for a short drive. It was enough to shake my mood and get me sitting down again to work. I called the manager of a temp agency I know in the Detroit area, and asked him to provide me with an introduction to the manager of the location here. He did that, and I followed up with her right away. I have an interview with them on Friday. This was immediately followed by a phone call from the first temp agency, which has an opening for an apartment leasing agent. She submitted my resume to them this afternoon. I should hear on that by Thursday.
In the meantime, I am continuing to look for other jobs. Penn State posts new jobs literally every day. I am also looking at other colleges and universities in the mid-Atlantic area. While I am on that subject, does any of my readers have a contact at Penn State?
I am also researching groups through meetup.com. I will let you all know how that progresses.
Have a wonderful day!
