This is a tough time for you now, and we're all behind you. I honestly do think you will succeed, because I believe you are a survivor, and you'll find your solution. My best tip for a job goes back to my 2001 unemployment, and that is, always think outside the box. I had to push aside my own comfort zone, and try different things. One thing I did was "crash" a job fair that was not advertising for my job skills, but for very specific medical positions. I didn't care. I put on my suit, brought my resume and went up to representatives from different medical areas and mentioned my skills. One recruiter liked me (can you believe it?
) and he told me to call him, as he knew of an executive looking for someone like me. Voila. They called me in and I interviewed. I was hired 3 days later, and am still there now!!!
Lastly, and I know you're doing this, but a reminder to network with absolutely everyone you know, to see if they have any possible leads for you.
I know your art open house will go well! Will Daisy greet guests at the door?
I think I'll stick with winter snow sports.
