On the hunt

Week 5 of the job hunt continues. I've had about 6 interviews since returning to New York after the holidays. Some of them have been promising, while others were more meet and greets. However, in this business, it's never bad to meet as many people as you can. I've found that a lot of companies are looking, but hesitant to hire staffers right now. Most people I have spoken with need help, but are afraid to commit to anything. It's understandable. What looks like good times, could be only a month from hardship. I am confident I will find a new gig in the coming weeks. I only hope that some of my fellow fallen friends feel the same.

I would love to tell tales of Manhattan Mayhem, but I have lead a fairly boring few weeks. My days have been filled with reading and watching movies when I'm not on the computer sending out resumes or calling perspective employers. The high point of my week was a spontaneous trip to Subway...ok, maybe not the high point but one of the few things I did worth pointing out. I've been running more; trying to get into some shape other than round. Not that weight is really a problem, I'm actually thinner than I was a year ago, but it's about that time of winter when you can feel the inactivity settle in your muscles and bones.

A very good friend will be arriving in a week. A friend that always enjoys a palaver. Someone that can make you smile in the baddest of bad moods. A person you love to share good news with and know will comfort you when the news is less than cheerful. One that listens, but never judges. We have been friends from afar the last year and I look forward to spending time with them face to face and growing our friendship.

So until next time my dear readers, if there are any of you left, wish me luck on the job front. I hope to report back with good news soon.
