And The Search Begins.....Again

Hello November.

This is the month I said I would start looking for new work. Basically, all of October I didn't really think about it. A couple people sent me leads but I didn't do too much with them.

Today was the first time I did a search to see what was out there and there was.....nothing. Nothing nothing. Not like a little something but Nada. I knew that this may be the case and that's why I'm trying to bank a lot of hours but let me tell you....all those hours I thought I was working? They don't add up to a lot of dough and I make a fairly good hourly rate. I have to pay for Cobra and any time off I get I don't get paid for it. I can't deny that I'm getting a little concerned. Luckily, I will be able to go on Unemployment in January but that's not really a consolation since it's so little. I also reached out to the gaming company I wanted to work for a couple months ago, "Hi....it's me, Dori. Just writing to check in. DO YOU NEED ME???"

So....I'm being proactive and will apply to things that come my way and continue to network. I'm trying to stay in some form of a creative realm. I'm also trying to freelance but if a great FT job came my way I will not turn my nose at it. I'm here until December (not sure of my exact end date) but today has been pretty slow. If they start cutting my hours, that could be a concern.

So....I'm raising the "threat level" of my search to High.
