This morning I made some dough. Surveys. Gotta love em. I wish more would come my way. It was for restless leg syndrome. I had no clue what it was or if I had it but I knew that my feet fall asleep a lot and I feel a prickly sensation quite a few times a day if I don't move around a lot. It was enough to qualify me for the survey. I like xtra $$. I don't like RLS.
I talked to a co-worker yesterday and got some good advice. He's going to try and get me considered for a different discipline. Not sure if it'll work but I appreciate the assistance. Who says a Recruiter always needs to recruit? We're good for other things like training, sales, biz development, OD, facilities management, etc. I just haven't been given the chance to really focus on these areas....but I think I could do them if given the chance.
Again...it's all about the networking! (It's also all about the Benjamins. Cha Ching)
I also heard from a former co-worker this morning who put me in touch with another former co-worker. Not sure if anything will come from this but at least it's something. Something is always better than Nothing....except when it comes to disease. In that case I'd rather have Nothing.
Found out my boss talked to his counterpart at the company I'd like to work for. Maybe that'll get me an in? The Recruiting Manager isn't back until Friday so we'll see what happens.
My Boss thinks I should move out of the country (A couple people that I've talked to have basically offered to relocate me if I'd consider international opportunities). He thinks I should let these companies assist me in my home selling and move out for a year. Me thinks my boss may be right but honestly, I'd miss Chicago and everything I have here....especially, if I moved to say...Singapore!
Right now, if I had to pare it down, there are 2-3 opportunities that if I were given offers for I would take. The problem is all of them are either in the very beginning or concept stages so I'm thinking I won't be gainfully employed (direct-hire OR contract) until middle to end of October. Oy!
I will just keep plugging away because that's all I can do.
HIRE ME!

I love the moving out of the country idea, although you know me, I'd kill for that opp.
ReplyDeleteKeep your mind open! If you go to Singapore, I'll come visit you, and chew gum and spit it out on the sidewalk!
