Like so many others who have adored working in the newspaper business, I've been downsized.
For the past month I've been a writer without an assignment. Well, there has been writing and tweaking the resume. The satisfactions of that are, shall we say, limited.
Much more fun has been the face-to-face and online networking that is highly recommended for every job searcher these days. It's only Tuesday, and I've been to three networking opportunities already this week. There are some wonderful, talented people available for hire these days, I've learned. And yes, some of them -- a lot of them -- have gray hair.
I am also impressed by the numbers of volunteers who are putting themselves out there to help those of us in Dallas/Fort Worth who are looking for jobs. Their collective wisdom is a gift.
Friends and family sometimes ask, "How's the job hunt going?" So, I've decided to share what I am finding out about today's job market, and perhaps a bit about myself, as I try to locate my next job. Or, as it's called in job-search speak, my "landing."
When I do, I'll let you know, and I'll bring the donuts.
