This week my main focus has been how to reinvent myself. I've gotten really discouraged by the results I've received so far from my job search. I had a difficult time the last time I was unemployed too, but this time it is worse. The last time I at least had some face-to-face interviews. This time I've had none at all. Yes, I know what you are thinking...why? I thought about this a lot too. I guess that's why I have thought long and hard about how to reinvent myself. Am I willing and able to take a contract job? Scary thought to put yourself out there for the vermin to pick on and tear apart. I know being an independent contractor means a lot of hard work, instability and competition. It also means that you would have more control over when and where you work.
There are some avenues I can pursue to get the job I need. Am I willing to go down those avenues? The authorities tell you that you must research before taking the plunge. That is a smart move. Then you need to connect with those people that are doing the job(s) that you want to pursue and ask for advice. This is where I'm at now. By networking with these people I will gain a better understanding of what I need to pursue the avenues laid out in front of me.
