Default Re: Job searching and how it's gone so far...

Larry,

Good luck with that. You've hit on one of the main reasons I don't return to the US yet, lack of well paid work for my skill set.

You seem to be very flexible in the types of work you have applied for; IT related, alarm installation, and sales. I agree with you, if you're not into trying to persuade reluctant prospects, then sales is probably not for you.

I am wondering, have you made separate resumes for each career type? If you haven't, I would suggest that you do so. The chance of taking temporary IT work to move into something better in the future may be good opportunity, assuming you can deal with insurance issues, etc in the mean time.

Hang in there,

GA
