Jobhunt Blues (Again)

Well, I began trying to jobhunt (again). I had spotted a job on craigslist that looked really cool. Fun, I was well qualified, it payed money, and best of all it was largely work at home except when they flew people in for meetings--and they're home base is in California. The problem? My resume was on the backup disks that went missing months and months ago and I found this while travelling anyway. So, I went back home and after a couple weeks of choas got around to digging through everything (again). I didn't turn up the disks. But I *did* find a hardcopy of a draft of an academic CV. Well, this made me feel better...like I wasn't starting from scratch, so I typed it back in. Now I had something to start from. I went back to the listing...not there. I checked the company's website...no listing. So, I was too slow (again).

So, I've downloaded some resume templates and have started trying to make a more work-oriented version of my resume so that when the *next* dream job comes my way, I'll be ready.

Sigh!

Oh well, at least the job served as an inspiration to prepare you for the next good opportunity!

May the next one appear soon after you've finished putting the finishing touches on the resume!
