I had a good week this week. I did take the initiative and looked up some retail establishments. No real bites but I do feel that I've accomplished something this week. I also had one promising interview for a part time position with a non-profit organization. A light has dawned for me. I hope I do get that position, but if I don't then I promised myself that I would volunteer there. It sounds like they really need help, and it would definitely make me feel good to provide it.
So, my suggestion to everyone who can is to volunteer somewhere. If you have something to show for your downtime, it does make a good impression on your potential employer. If you have something you like to do and you're making a difference in someone's life, it's even better. I know for me, it has been a rough road to employment. I've had to expose myself electronically numerous times, and I know I will have to continue to do so.
I can be thankful for many things. A working computer with Internet access...too many take this for granted when it's not really a "given" for many people who are struggling to find jobs and exposing themselves even more than I am. Family and friends that are supporting me....I've talked to many people that don't have that support and are struggling alone. My God and Lord of my life...Jesus Christ, who supports and sustains me through life. I've learned so much in these past months of unemployment and have worked through the issues that still plague me at times with the help of the support group I attend regularly.
I think that is the key....having that support....and not going it alone.
