Give it to a busy person. I'm that way. It's nothing for me to fritter away weeks if i have too much down time.....that or get into trouble! However, when I'm busy...I'm stoked and focused.<BR/><BR/>The job hunt, no matter what the economy is like is a wrestling match........and it's very hard on the head no matter who you are. The field you have chosen too is so competitive and driven by networking....the hidden job market. One of the tactics I have used in the past (and am trying to use it right now as I CONTINUE to find a new job) is to brainstorm a list of possibilities.....and begin with the cold calls and arranged meetings. <BR/><BR/>Keep plugging away out there broadening your network Mike. It will pan out soon.......awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-33259811310622014992008-02-07T11:11:00.000-08:002008-02-07T11:11:00.000-08:00Writing has always been my choice for communicatio...Writing has always been my choice for communication, Mike, whether with others or myself. I can always sort of a problem or a situation much more easily if I write about it.

I am deadline driven too and having nothing to work towards can make me feel quite directionless. <BR/><BR/>This post demonstrates something that I knew already: you are extremely self aware. That you use the written word to 'sort out' your thoughts is no surprise, it is your chosen medium for expression so it seems natural to use it this way. I ma certain that that bright future is waiitng for you, it's just a little further down the road.<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for p[opping by my blog and for your supportive comment. Apologies for the use of the acronym too - it's such a well known problem in the UK that it doesn't need explanation!Bobkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842625953465490864noreply@blogger.com
