I lost my job in September, and have been doing a lot of work around what's the next step in my career.
While I'm grateful for having had this time, my oldest's high school schedule means she's home by 11 every other day so we've had lunch together and in general I've gotten more time with both kids. I'm ready to get back to work. Financially I NEED to get back to work.
I had a good interview yesterday for a contract position. I liked the person I'd be working for, it's work I can do. There are 6 other candidates and I was the first one interviewed. I'll know more by the end of the week.
Prayers, positive thoughts, crossed fingers what have you that this pans out or if it doesn't that something else is on the horizon soon. We can't continue to like this much longer and I've already started applying for things I know would be short term, but would keep us afloat financially while I continue to look.

(I added a "fingers crossed" emoticon, but it looked like I was giving you the bird, so I deleted it. ) Ha! I just spit coffee I laughed so hard. On the positive front, a volunteer gig (design related) has popped up and I just heard they accepted me. I'm thrilled. If you're at all in the creative field I've been using a site called Catchafire which connects not for profit organizations with people who do creative work - designers, editors, copywriters etc for volunteer projects. You submit for jobs that you like and they offer a structured setting in which to connect. It's been a fantastic resource to do work that is fulfilling while also adding to my portfilio. the gig I just accepted is designing an invitation for a ladies who lunch fundraiser for a group that works with autistic kids. One of their occupational therapists is also a watercolorist and did these stunning watercolors for them. I gasped when I saw them. I'm thrilled to get to work with such lovely art and hope I can do them justice. |
