56 Days to Go

Four days into " the search" and I am still in the resume "review" process. I am deciding the industries that I want to approach for potential opportunities. While I believe the economy is on the upswing (at a snail's pace), I am not sure how long it will take the civil engineering industry to revive itself - so I am looking at other industries.

Others that I trust have reviewed my resume and I am making the final touches to my text resume. I will finalize later today or tomorrow at work. Once the text resume is done, I will embark on the journey of creating a visually appealing resume for posting as a pdf. This will hopefully display my creativity and desktop publishing skills.

Back in the old days, I wouldn't have been so conscientious about the search. But now an older and wiser me realizes the importance of first impression (when I don't get to be present). I am talented, smart, and an asset to any organization (no self esteem issues either).

I still have to maintain a happy, healthy home while I search for new employment. With that said, I am off to go swimming at my brother's for the afternoon! I will be back later to see what the Internet has in store for me. Happy hunting to the other CMXans that are looking!
