Job Search – day 16

Today I’m working on finalizing my Marketing Plan, and coming up with a list of companies to target for networking-related job searching.  I had a nibble from one company earlier in the week but my research revealed culture issues that would make me uncomfortable there, and they chose not to interview me.  That’s either a win-win or lose-lose.  My resume is now up on a few job sites.

As part of the survival plan my wife and I are cutting back on spending.  We got a really great supportive gift last night.  Her yoga teacher gave us a gift certificate to the local Cracker Barrel (we could also have chosen Chili’s).

That is a great gift because it resolves any guilt that I might feel about eating out as recreation.  We can eat at home much less expensively than we can eat out.  But if somebody else is paying … it works out.  Win-win.  We get our expenses defrayed AND we get a reason to go out.

Thanks to all who have been praying or thinking good thoughts or helping.  Emotionally I am still at a low point but feel it getting better for the first time.
