Downsized again

Seems like it was only a year and a half ago that I was looking for a job after my proofreading position was eliminated. Can you say "deja vu"? The market research firm I was working for since March eliminated my position yesterday. So once again, I am on a quest to find gainful employment.

I spent 12 years at the hotel and 11 years at the ad agency. After a year of searching, I entered the world of market research. That lasted a whopping eight months. I understand that many people change jobs for a number of reasons on a more frequent basis. I'm just not used to that. I much prefer staying at a job until I've mastered it.

Now comes the task of once again examining my skills and talents and trying to match them up with positions and employers. I fully believe I can be trained to do almost anything. It's just a matter of finding an environment where I can be most successful.

At least it gave me a topic for this short blog entry...

  1. Oh, ick - so sorry, and I would feel as you do. Take a look at Schreiber Foods to see if there's something that might suit you there. If so, Jeff can do an internal referral for you, which would get you in the door more easily than just applying completely cold.
