Why is it...

that it's a lot easier to find stuff online that I want to buy than it is to find jobs to apply for? Sigh...

When you figure it out, you let me know!

I really hate that...I would love to be able to find something I would really enjoy considering I'm waaaay too stressed at my current job.

I actually have a "real" answer though. I just finished up a career development class and my professor is a career consultant here in Austin. A couple of the things I found out in that class are 1) about 85% of the open positions are not advertised in the paper, jobsites etc and 2) Austin is a "who you know" market so networking is very important...bleh

 Agreed.. my last two jobs (at the same company) were a result of networking.   

Course, I'm always happy and willing to pull anyone into networking with me if anyone wants to. :P

Ugh I know.  I'm kinda-sorta-not really- looking for a job and it sucks.  In the last 6 months I've seen about 3 jobs that I would actually enjoy.

If you know anything that's PT, let me know! I'm trying to get my business going, but don't have the time with a full time position, and I'm really hating where I'm at right now. I know it sounds crazy, but I would love a clerical or receptionist position, but I'm not sure I'm qualified since I haven't done that in years.

and it always seems when I want to buy something specific, I can't find it!   i.e. I always seem to see cute dresses and think, "I wish I had a wedding to attend soon!"  then, when we actually have a wedding coming up, I can't find anything. 

GL w/job search, it's no fun.
