First foray into blogging - my foul Monday mood

Wow. This sucks. No income, feeling unwanted, useless, and plain lonely. When will it get better? I'm starting to wonder and worry. It would be nice if people you email would simply respond. How rude to not give a status to someone who is desperately looking for an update, a smidgen of hope, light at the end of the unemployment tunnel. I hate this.

I talked with an executive recruiter a little while ago. The conversation was underwhelming. I get the sense that I am out of my league. . . it's all about marketing yourself, that's for sure. He asked about the interviews I've had - whether they were from my resume or from my network. I said the latter and he clearly wasn't surprised! My resume needs a complete overhaul. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Well I better get to it. Packaging, positioning, and primping my past. . .
