Home Sweet Home?


Things seem to be basking in a more positive light; lodgings are nearly secure; placements are nearly contracted. This might work out after all. Except, I need a job. Of course, it would be ideal if we could all follow those personal creative pursuits that make us individuals, like some Star-Trek inspired utopia, but realism dictates we must work.

So far, this is my greatest concern and origin of my greatest anxiety. I have worked since I the age of sixteen, and though I find it difficult to admit, I cannot sit in an apartment by myself all day. I've done it for six weeks and I have run out of excuses.

There seem to be several interesting places in Portland that could offer employment; Nike, Dark Horse Comics, various publishing companies and book stores to list a short few. I have my fingers crossed and my resume flying at the speed of a cable modem, so we'll see.

You should try job sites like Careerbuilder, HotJobs, Dice or even Snagajob, but stay away from Monster - I hear that their product is junk, unless you consider their new energy drink line

Monster worked for my husband, Dave. It was completely random and neither of us saw it coming but he recieved a call to what has been one of his best career job moves ever. Don't give up hope!
