I wish that meant I cut myself some slack, reveled in my family before they all headed back to school, or generally did things to "get my head right".
But, no.
The time-wasters are my new haunts - where I post my profile, update my resume, look under every rock for job leads. I've blogged a little about my love/hate with Monster.com. For about three days, I couldn't seem to update anything there, even after restarting and re-logging in and anything else. Even now, I'm still not sure why there's a line on my profile to the effect that "Employers cannot view your profile". Great. I'm talking to myself. Not unlike this blog!
Then, this week, it was LinkedIn. I've spent a lot of time there making connections, building a network. I found a gig that sounds perfect for me on their "Jobs" and applied right there through LinkedIn. But unless I miss my guess, only people in my network can see my profile. So the HR person probably can't see my stellar recommendations and carefully crafted list of accomplishments and talents.
It's like this portfolio that I'm finally dedicating myself to. All this work (and all this help I'm getting from friends).... I just hope I get somebody gets to see the portfolio soon.
