The Job Hunter

// March 24th, 2009 // Ramblings

Well, to all of my avid readers, an update on today’s job search!

The Agency Group wrote me a nice soft blow rejection letter.  They aren’t currently hiring, which is fine.  At least they wrote me back.

I’m trying to take a different angle on how I’ve been approaching the job search.  The past two months have been spent looking for any and everything here locally in Raleigh.   This has proved unsuccessful and I’m trying to target other geographic regions based on my field of interest, entertainment.  Austin, LA, NY, and Nashville have quickly risen in my field of vision.

I’ve spoken to some personal friends who have provided me with possible leads.  I sent out some feelers earlier today and one of the contacts actually wrote me back.  He didn’t offer a specific job, but he did offer some advice, and said I could reach out whenever I needed to.  Good dude.

I definitely feel like I’ve entered stage two of my job hunt.  I definitely feel a lot better about how I’m approaching things, I just have to continue to reach out on a daily basis.  I’m keeping notes on who I’ve reached out to, when, and how I should follow up.

Maybe a seed will take and start to grow.  Persistence I say! (Thanks Obama)

Not job related, but I am so pumped to go to the Mountains this weekend.  A much needed reprieve.
