Job Searching
As you have read from my previous post, we have embarked on a massive debt pay off as quick as possible. This can only be accomplished by increasing our income. I am on a job search to find the right job with a descent income. This is not easy in my area because it is a small lower income area.
I have sent out some resumes but I am not getting many positive results. One company did a phone screening and said I would be moved to the next step and I never heard from them again. Another job was very hopeful but the funding for the position was cut. I am currently working but my hours are up and down and I need a steady income.
I have been supplementing my income with blogging and writing jobs but they too are up and down. I guess with the uncertainty of the economy many companies are putting a freeze on new hires. I will keep plugging away and hopefully be able to pay off our debt with in a reasonable time frame.
How is things going for your family?
Things are really bad every where. I have worked in construction for the past 15 of the past 16 years. And I am basically broke right now. Of course going through a divorce did not help that cause either. I have been searching for a new job myself because here lately, the construction businesses seem to be taking months instead of a week here and there off. I am fortunate not to be in debt, but being broke is no fun either. Blogging has helped some in the past few months, but not that much. And people are just not hiring. Unless you have a masters degree with years of experience., there is hardly anything available for anyone. Nice blog you have going here.
