I know – I’m not working and it’s messing with my idea of what day it is. The long Thanksgiving weekend didn’t help with that either! I feel a bit like I did when the pandemic started – it’s just weird not being in my old work rhythm!
I just sent my resume off to a friend who is a consultant to CEOs – I’ve known her for more than 20 years because she hosts the Friendsgiving celebration I go to every year. And I never realized exactly what she does professionally until this year. How weird is it that you know someone for years and years without ever really knowing much about their professional life?
Networking might be a first step in the job search process, but I can’t say I’m good at it. I know a lot of people and I think by and large they think well of me – but I’m a little on the introverted side so the idea of asking around about open positions doesn’t come easily to me. So I’m kind of proud that I’m putting myself out there so quickly after the layoff – and I’m actually getting my name to the right people! I’m really blessed in my friends.
