Bring out the hounds...the job search is on.

I'm finding that job hunting is more difficult when you are a full time mommy. I know it can be done, people do it all the time, but it does make it stratigically more difficult. I have always been able to find a job within a week of moving to a new area. God knows I've moved enough times in my life to know!
I've put my resume out there on various sites and have filled out electric applications. (the electronic age is awesome) I've got a plethora of job skills so hopefully something will rear its head this week. It's gonna be tricky, I can't exactly go to an interview with a child on my hip. LOL! We're finding that owning a home is an expensive but worthwhile adventure. I have even put in for a job at the big brand name local home improvement store. It may not be a glamorous job, but just think of the discounts on those home improvements! heehee....
I also think that as good as it is for Collin to be home with me all day, I think he needs more. Whenever we go places he's always drawn to other children. He likes to be around and play with other kids, so I think he'll have fun and learn some social skills in daycare that he's not getting at home. I'm not looking forward to dropping him off and watching him cry, or all the colds and illness that comes with daycare. He's been sooo healthy, thank goodness.
But if I don't get a job soon, we're gonna be hurting. We've got enough for the bills, we just won't be able to eat. LOL.
So wish me luck folks! I hope to be back in the working world by the end of the week!

  • Working sucks and that is the crappy part of a mortgage, actually having to pay it! :) No more banking for you huh? I swear, after hearing all about Jay's experience, you couldn't pay me to work in a bank! I think the home store would be fun. Yeah, definitely put up more pics of the kitchen, kitchen pics are like porn for me! :)

  • What do you want to do? If you're merely looking for something to do and keep up with kid watching, there are a lot of options.

    Take, UPS for example. You could split your time up with Dave and probably not have to have a sitter that much. Or, several friends of mine work with mentally challenged adults; it pays well, and the hours are usually pretty nice and flexible to a degree.

  • LOL Keoka! I will have to post some now.
    I have looked into banking, because the benefits are so good. But, they really don't pay tellers much. Sounds like the most they can get is about 9 bucks an hour here. I need atleast 10 for it to be worth it to put Collin is daycare. I've looked into it and it will cost anywhere from 100-130 a week for daycare.

    eric,
    UPS...I hadn't thought about that. I could probably lose some weight working at a job like that too. My aunt and uncle work for the post office and they make mad money.
