Job Search, Full Steam Ahead
Here I am again at my wonderful place of employment. Bored out of my mind! I finished all of my tasks that are due by the end of June two weeks ago and the information I need to work on July won't even be available until April 10th.
Today, I sent an email to the placement agency I used last April to see if they had any recommendations for agencies in Houston. I forwarded my updated resume to a contact I met thru Ness(a)Lee a couple of years ago and I sent my resume to the lady who helped my best friend find a job last July.
Tonight, I am going to go redo my resumes that are on CareerBuilder and Monster. Any one else have any other ideas?
P.S. I totally stole that picture from Thao who finally got the offer letter she has been waiting on. Go tell her Congratulations!

Thanks so much for your well wishes.
I say place your resume on Chron.com as well. It's just like the other sites where you can set up auto searches and they will email you matches. Check job fairs: http://www.houstonjobconnection.com/JOBFAIRS.htm

I say just get your resume out to as many places as possible. It may seem like some job listings aren't even worth your time but just take the time to make a good cover letter where you can tweak it to each job listing so it doesn't look too generic and send it off.
Hope this helps! And tell me when you come down, we can have a nice cuppa.
