Job Search Question
OK, wise Nestie women, I am finally serious about finding a job. In my search of various websites I found a job that I would LOVE yet am probably overqualified.
I did some research and one of my good friends is FB friends with the hiring director (I don't know if there is a manager in between). So, I reached out to my friend and she contacted her friend (director). The director asked that I email her and I did that on Wednesday. I haven't gotten an acknowledgement of my email. Should I call her for follow up?
Also, she emailed my friend thanking her for recommending me. Is that good or bad considering she hasn't contacted me??
I haven't looked for a job in more than ten years and to be honest I was recruited out of college. I have never really had to look for a job and I feel like a tiny fish in a huge ocean.....could even describe my feelings as adolescent like.
Advise me....and tell me to grow up. This isn't how I handle "business", but I am overwhelmed in uncharted waters and emotionally raw from my soap-opera like personal life.
Help!
Re: Job Search Question
Ditto!
Thanks ladies. Re-reading my post I sound like a complete sap. I am overly emotional today as I finalized the final draft of my divorce decree and head to the attorney's office on Monday to sign. Monday is also my STBXH's birthday. Ironic.
Thanks for listening to me whine and whimper.
