Help with my Journey...

Hey! Remember that "personal journey" I'm supposed to be on? Well, I'm [more or less] trying to find a job, but more importantly, I'm trying to find my place. I've actually gotten some really good input and advice, and I'm looking into things, possibilities, etc. A couple months ago I (with hesitation) posted my resume on one of those sites - you know the ones, the "job-seeker-let-us-help-you-find-your-perfect-career" sites. Now I pretty much knew I wasn't going to get very far with it, b/c it's not the best tool in the world for someone like me. In other words, they insist on looping you into a JOB category. I can see where it would be helpful for others, so I thought I'd give it a shot! And while yes, they do have numerous categories for you to choose from, it was still quite difficult. Of all the items, I figured "Events Planner" made the most sense. Well - please allow me to share the "job/career suggestions" that the site has emailed me in the past two days. You know, it'll say "Events Planner", and then the title of the available job and location will appear next to that, and from there you can send your resume/apply for the job. So here is what I've gotten, again from EVENTS PLANNER:

1 - Arabic Interpreter/Translator
2 - Nuclear or Mechanical Engineer
3 - Pizza Sales Trainee
4 - Electro-Mechanical Materials Manager
5 - Investment Consultant
6 - General Manager - Old Navy

Yeah, so I think I'm just really torn b/w Old Navy and being an Arabic Interpreter...

Oh goody! Another one! How about:
7 - Vice President - Finance...

About Me

My photo
Here's hoping having a blog will help lead me to the adventures that are out there awaiting me. I want to do something with my writing, my creativity, my skills. I just lost a job that I hated, and am so much better off for it!! It's the new me! Or rather, the OLD me! Yippee! I love the Arts, 1920's and 1930's Cinema, the Theatre, The BOB and SHERI SHOW (!), all animals, my friends, and my family. And music!! Good music, which of course is subjective, but that's another thought for another day. At the moment, I guess this is just about me, and where to go from here, and to see if constantly writing out my wandering thoughts will eventually lead to good! Can't hurt, right? I certainly was not doing myself or the Universe ANY good droning away at that "job"! Anyone willing to come along on this ride? I'll let you off if you change your mind. It is, in effect, the journey through My mind, and I am sure that's a scary place for others to be! It's like one of my favorite quotes - don't know whose, since i really saw it on a tee shirt, but it fits me to a, um, well... a TEE: "I live in my own little world, but that's okay - they know me here!"
