My New Year's Resolution is to get a career before the year is out. Notice I said "career" and not "job"? With Chris talking about retirement and the kids looking to leave home for college, I am trying to figure out what Sharon wants to be when she grows up. I spent the better part of this week preparing my resume. Fortunately I have family and friends who were very helpful in providing objective comments and supportive advice.
I went to a head hunter earlier in the week who gave me advice as well. She mostly places IT people, so she didn't have anything to offer me. Chris found a policy analyst position on the Internet that is just perfect for me. I sent in my application on Thursday and kept checking the e-mail all day Friday to see if they agreed that I was a perfect match. Alas, no such message arrived.
Next week I will be calling contacts and looking for more job postings. I'm fortunate that I can be picky and wait for the perfect job.
Wish me luck!
