A dreary Saturday
Very gray, foggy and rainy outside. I suppose if it had been snow, we would be buried. As it is, the now is melting and everything is underwater.
No search activity to do. The job alerts are minimal, I have already applied to any posting remotely appropriate. At this point in the search, I am losing self-confidence. I read the job descriptions and I know I can do the job. But I get no responses, so there must be something I am deficient in, right? I suppose my VP level may scare off some organizations. But, how do you impress upon an interviewer that you are willing to do whatever it takes? Conventional wisdom says not to come off as desperate, but I guess it is natural to be willing to take significantly less salary when your current earnings are zero.
Thankfully, I have a supporting wife and family. I will make it through this and be a better person for it. I just wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I former colleague of mine used to be self employed, giving training sessions around the country. He told me of times he would find himself in a motel room in Montana and wonder who he had pissed off to be in such dreadful straits. I know what he means. I feel like I have done something to put myself in this position. But, it is just the times we are in.
Have a good weekend, all.
