Bo’s posterous

Wow, time flies.  It's been over a month since I was laid off. It's been 24 work days since I was let go. Here I am, still no job, no interview. Weird!

Well, I still feel like I continue making progress. I continue to contact people every day to let them know I'm still out here looking.  I think that's a really important think when you hit the month mark.  If you don't continue to let people know that you are still on the job hunt, people will assume that you found something. And that's DEFINITELY not what you want or need. So keep it up and continue to get out there with phone calls, emails, networking.

Today I had a friend contact me about a possibility with someone I know. It just shows that you have to rely on friends. I have several other opportunities that are in the hopper but it's just a waiting game that requires diligent follow up.

Today I was also energized by a business idea my wife and I have been talking about.  We did some research and it is quite possible that we launch this idea. Perhaps if I can't find a job, I can create several instead?

So why did I skip yesterday? I was engrossed in my backyard project and frankly, I didn't think about the job hunt until I was in bed and very tired. I debated whether I should post something or not and I finally decided that I was too tired. So I skipped a day.

This weekend is Mother's day and I'm sure it will be lots of fun. I will refocus on Monday to follow up on a few opportunities I've applied for.
