Recent Updates
Have Job.
Long update incoming. Resume is posted all over the internet. It portrays various aspects of what I’m trying to accomplish and the type of jobs I’m hoping to land. The linkedin profile is all up to date and varies and increases the amount of detail I have in my resume. It’s all coming together. Have been sending in applications to companies for the last 2 weeks, so a little behind from my goal, but I have been making up for this with more applications. I have been having some results on the job front. Enough that I get to move back home earlier than anticipated, so this week and next are the joys of packing and upacking and moving across an ocean, again. Only issue with conducting a job search in a country other than the one you’re currently living in is the phone bills. Not looking forward to this months payment. Other than that though, there is hope on the horizon that a paycheck is in my future again. Still need to get my suit ready for interviews though.
Shiny new resume has been created. Not entirely happy with the formatting, but it’s functional. Been browsing open jobs and bookmarking for later research/potential applications. Having the resume looked over before posting it. Will hopefully have feedback and be edited before the Monday push.
