windy autumn jobsearch
Still searching, but very positive today.
I made a list of all the jobs in the paper last night for applying to this week, and applied to a company last night and one today. I did research on three other jobs, talking to my supa-secret contacts. And! I got a call back from a blind box that I sent my hardcopy resume to last week, (the posting in the WI State Journal titled itself ‘Great Job’ which I find to be positive). So, I have a brief phone interview for that on wed.
There is a job faire at the Alliant Center tommorrow, so I made a whole bunch of copies of my resume to hand out there. I haven’t had great success with job faires in the past, working in the fairly specialized field of Web development and design, but it never hurts to get more eyes on the resume, and meet some people in person. Resumes are like business cards, they do no good unless you hand them out.
It is very windy outside, though pleasant in temperature. The trees have begun to turn colors, and the geese are back paddling around the little man made pond near our house, getting ready for their long trip south.
