I'm still standing!

It's been pretty slow, but I have faith that something will come my way soon. Keep checking back for details, news and muses. ^.^

Out the door I go.

So, everything is cleaned out, all my personal effects are still in my car for now. Taking my time, filling out the paper work for severance pay and doing what I can to find new work. My hopes are still high, taking online classes.

Still looking but no luck yet.

Still looking for a new job, looking out for possible options and changes in resume writing, cover letters and more since its been awhile since I've updated my resume. It's pretty tough since the way resume's are written from the last time I've been out searching for a new job til now.

Taking the time to rewrite my resume to qualify for the jobs I really want, but not passing up opportunities that become available. This is more work than working at a company. Whew. But I know in the end it would be worth it to find employment again. Whether here in NC or further up north. Only time will tell at this point in life.

Also checking out education opportunities while I'm searching. I've been putting it off because I could never find the time to do this while working at my former job. But I need to upgrade my associates to a bachelor's to even be considered. Even though I probably have a lot of experience, but unless it says bachelor's on my resume they won't even look twice before chucking my resume into the round filing cabinet.

Here we go again.

This is the last week with Civitas LLC. I will miss working with awesome page designers and a great mentor/supervisor. But I'm just simply not ready to move to Ohio for peanuts. I will still give my 200% as I would with any position I'm in til the end.

My only concern is the severance package, will it help me until I find a new job? Well. The test is about to happen Aug. 5. Will update this blog as I go and add to "Life Unemployed 2.0" til my next adventure.

Since my previous experience I have learned not to fret about it, because I'm a survivor and I know I can get through this. Because I know this: Fret and worry, leads to stress and self-doubt. I can't have that, I need to remain calm, positive and focused to reach a new level in my life whether its working for another company or flipping burgers at the local burger king. See you soon!
