You call that a job fair?

I went to another job fair today. It was worse than the last one. The line to get in took longer than visiting all the booths. I gave out one resume.

But, there is good news. I received an email from one of the agencies that I am registered with asking to submit my resume for some government contract jobs. The contracts are six months long and take place in downtown Nashville.

There's also graduate school. Tomorrow I take my GMAT. For the first time in my life I'm panicking over a test. It's just a test, just a test.

Oh hi there

I didn't forget about this blog. I just got a bit sidetracked. So for the past month, here's what's happened on the career front:

* I attended a seminar about grad school.
* I interviewed for a position as an accounting assistant with a great company.
* I applied for grad school, figuring it was now or never.

I haven't heard back about the interview yet. I'm hopeful, the longer it takes, the more the hope diminishes. It hasn't been that long if you factor in Thanksgiving. It just feels like ages ago.

I was speaking with my FIL, who is a bit of an optimist when it comes to those close to him. He said that it's funny how things work out. I'm considering graduate school because of the horrible job market and having a hard time getting a good job. And while it's going to be hard for a year or two, I'm going to come out of it all in a much better position than I was when I started.

In the meantime I'm still searching. I'm also staying busy with my position as the online chair for Relay for Life (boy did I not realize what I was getting myself in to). I'm coming to terms with being back in Tennessee, quite possibly for the rest of my life. I also get to stay home with my boys for another year. It's going to be an interesting year or two.
