  • Well, it's that Time Again...

    Now that we know for sure that we're heading back to DC, I'm starting that dreaded job search, again.

    Not that I mind changing jobs- I've changed jobs every two and a half to three years for my entire career. (all upwardly- it's acceptable in my field to have worked at a number of places. Luckily!) But, I hate the whole BS cover letter/resume crap.

    I have found a couple of interesting positions though. It may be too early to send my information, but I figure, what the heck- at the minimum, they get to read my resume and hopefully will remember me. (Hello job search database- again!)

    I started my current job before we 'officially' moved here. I was in the apartment with a blow up mattress, a lawn chair and a 13 in color TV. (The apartment was so empty that it echoed in the background when I was on the phone!) At least this time, if I find something I can always stay with my parents or my best friend's place.

    Oh well! and if any of you DC people know of anything interesting, let me know!

    If I hear of anything I will keep you in mind. The Washington Post has a decent jobs section but of course there are many other manys to job search. Good luck, Jenn!

        Update

        I've been sending resumes (or cookies as the job warrants) and hadn't had one nibble (no pun intended) until last week. One of the nationally known accreditation companies (in the field of Developmental Disabilities and social services)called and are flying me to Chicago for an interview in two weeks!

        Whew. I was starting to get nervous. I know times are tough and I'm definitely in a niche market but jeez- I was making myself paranoid! I know I'm good at what I do- why aren't they calling me sort of thing.

        So, everyone, keep your fingers crossed on 2/17!

            Nope, not yet. Those cookies alone should warrant an interview, at least in my opinion!

                interview

                IF those guys DONT interview you, it is definately not a place that values individuality and creativity and you wouldn't want to work there! I can't believe they haven't called you yet...I would snap you up in a heartbeat!
