Well, I have joined the ranks of the unemployed (again), and the desperation has not set in yet. Rather, I am viewing this time as an extended vacation of sorts. I was laid off, because they had lost a large standard market account, and as there were only two people in the standard market department, and since I was the less experienced (and connected), I had to go. So far, I have put out resumes, and went to two career fairs (which weren't offering anything except sales and retail positions).
While I don't want to disappoint myself with unrealistic expectations, I am viewing this time as an opportunity to pursue the career I want. In January, I start my final semester of grad school, and unlike the last 5 years of my post-baccalaureate life, I don't want a job, just for the sake of having a job. I am putting good vibes into the universe, and a ton of resumes.
Let's see what happens!
