the 2 minute pitch

I am beginning to feel like a used car salesman and I don't even know what they do. I am now writing my pitches and introductions.....I sound important enough. I'd take a look at me and perhaps hire me. But its all about who you know so my pitch is this..

I am Lorraine. Can I be your friend as long as you work in a company that values social responsibility and community outreach oh and yes employees contributions. I also what to make sure you guys at your company can handle and energetic and enthusiastic associate who has a great sense of humor..... Then when we are friends..... Can you get me a job.....

So I am finally, well almost getting it

So in 2007 the idea when looking for a new career is to really define your dream job and then work your way backwards. In theory this is perfect, but in doing this I could be in my dream nursing home by then but that's not likely, BC there will be no money for that so I'll just be dreaming on some Park bench.

But tis the dremaing part thats got me stumped. Here I am at the prime of life and like most 17 year ols I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. And isn't that great. Here we are able to really think and work at getting to what I call personla nirvana, I want a job that lets me live my passion and my life on purpose.

And I beleieve I once had that. A job that gets me excited and stirs up the creative juices and lets me also help and be of service to others.

I know that my new job has to involve communications, public realtions, lots of people, a place to grow, a compnay that has values and corporate social reasponsibility. And it has to be a place that values its people. oh and year it has to be fun.....

I'm still hanging in there

Okay so iuts almost 4 months unemployed. While I try really hard to be upbeat and positive, it really is amazing how this stuff really transforms you. But then it also gives you an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself and who you really are.

What perplexes me is that I really don't know how to play this game- Finding target markets, calls to strangers, netowrking, asking for other names. What ever happend to just plain old sleeping with the boss?

Onward and upward. A new day another chance to make a difference. Prayers wanted.....thanks
