I didn't blog much at all last week. I was actually quite busy applying for jobs and just being productive. I even went to a resume writing workshop which was really very helpful. I had to give my resume a complete overhaul. My resume was missing so much important information that it made sense as to why I was getting the usual response "We've chosen to go with another candidate." The only positions that I seemed to be a good fit for were transcription positions. Of course I get the occasional email from what I call scammer positions who claim they found my resume and thought I would be a good fit for their opportunity in insurance sales.....uhhh, no where on my resume is there anything listed about any sales experience...so yeah...scammer position. I spent an entire day updating my resume and then updating company sites that had my profile on them so hopefully things will start to turn around in the job sector really soon. It's been almost 2 months and quite frankly, I'm bored and ready to go back to work. Ideally, I would love to work full-time from home but since I don't have a private office any longer, I don't want to even apply for call center positions. I know they have zero tolerance for noise and right now, my girlfriend is watching Bar Rescue right next to me LOL. Of course, I can go back into transcription but I already know that won't turn out well with the low pay that they offer now. I'm not trying to kill myself and end up with major carpal tunnel syndrome because I have to type all day and night to make any money with their measly 3-5 cents per line. I'm cool on that.
So yeah, with those things working against me, I will opt for working in an office, which again, poses another problem. Ya girl ain't trying to drive to Atlanta, not if I can help it. That drive is stressful. It's totally different when I go to visit my daughter in college in Atlanta because I'm not on a time schedule so I'm not as stressed out. One day I will work for myself and Atlanta traffic won't be an issue. There's traffic in my little town too but it's only bad in certain spots, like the main streets that people use to avoid the highway, which I completely understand. Let's be honest though, there's always traffic Atlanta, no matter where you go.
Okay, I'm done ranting about jobs and traffic. I need to go grocery shopping since the kid will be home tomorrow and we all know teenagers, even slim girls, can eat. Besides, I found a recipe for Asian Garlic Tofu and with the kid being a foodie, I want to make it for her. She is supposed to start a blog with her food adventures soon and I'm actually looking forward to reading it.
Until next time,
