Who's Bad?!

My boss said something interesting to me yesterday: "Maybe you're getting so down on yourself because you're sending your resume to anyone/everyone and not hearing anything back instead of being more strategic. Since it "only takes one" job then try being more selective in your search. This is going to take time no matter what." Huh.....I guess it's a good way of approaching it. I've been going on different company websites and not finding any recruiting opportunities but if a company really interests me I'm still posting my resume to their database. I know from experience that I may never be "sourced" but at least it's in there. I can always go back and post again if need be. I think this is OK but maybe all the Monster/Careerbuilder stuff has to end. They are both crappy!

I also need to start writing down who I send my resume to. This will help me in the future if another opening pops up at the same company. I won't have to go thru all the sign up stuff. And if an Agency calls me to ask if I've already submitted my resume I'll know if I have/haven't.

I just got to work. I had to run to Evanston hospital to get an exam. Something all ladies need to do at 40 (or just before you turn 40 as in my case). It wasn't nearly as painful as I had expected. Wasn't a walk in the park, but it wasn't terrible. All these "appointments" I'm trying to get in while I still have insurance and/or Cobra. Because Midway may cease to exist in a few months, I may not even get Cobra so I want to do all of this now.

Off I go to make more copies. Who's bad? Me.

HIRE ME!
