OT--Need good mojo vibes for job hunt!!
Hey my WLS cohorts! I am trying to find a "real" job and it's been so long since I've done that, I've forgotten how hard it is! I currently work from home typing medical transcription but that is a dying field and, quite frankly, I'm kinda wanting some human interaction in my day. This is a weird place for me to be since I do what I do so that I can avoid other people, and I completely blame my weight loss for my change of heart!
So, if you could send some positive thoughts my way, I'd appreciate it. It's a tough time to be finding a job but I have applied for a few that I am quite qualified for--they just need to realize how awesome I am and call me!
Feel free to shout out any job hunting tips, interview tips, and how to act in public tips you may have. And beware: if I do get an interview, I'm going to be posting about how I have nothing to wear!! I have 3 dresses, 3 pairs of jeans, and a ton of yoga pants that I can currently wear. None of these things are job appropriate, lol! But we'll cross that bridge when we get there!
Thanks for the good feelings and have a happy Tuesday!!

Sending positive thoughts your way!!! I am looking for positive thoughts myself (see my post) as I have recently applied for a job within my current company that would be a great career advancement!

Good luck! I just started a new job last week after learning my company was closing our local operation. It was surprising how quickly I found an alternative. Check out consignment shops for affordable seperates that can be combined to create the "interview suit". Also if you time it right, sometimes you can clean up at a retailer if you apply for their in-store credit card. I did that at NY & Co then turned around and paid the balance before leaving the store. I ended up saving more than I spent.
