Help Wanted?

The market for jobs feels like it's getting smaller and smaller. I've applied to a few insurance companies-but for some reason feel that whatever I may be offered I would be grossly underpaid in relation to my education. Not to mention when you take a gander at the openings listed on some of the job websites - HotJobs, Indeed - 1/2 of the listings are for those get rich quick work online work from home scams! I cannot believe that newspapers are using these websites as a link to their job classifieds. So-I'm thinking I'm going to have to start to tackle the phone book. That's how I got my job with Per-Se Technologies (now McKesson) all those years ago. I had Zachariah and was unemployed. I refused to go back to work for a department store, so, I took out the Yellow Pages and started looking through them for ideas on where to send my resume. The NYS Job Bank through the Dept of Labor isn't too bad. But-that site makes me just wish I had gone back to school for nursing, instead of Biology and Education! Especially with hearing that so many school districts are contemplating staff cuts.

I'm trying to stay positive. I'm praying everyday that the Lord will bring a new employment possibility into my life. I'm trying not to get discouraged. Thank God I have friends that are constantly reassuring me that SOMETHING will come up. I know that I am internalizing my stress though-still apparent with my waning insomnia. It's a toss up, my body usually defaults to migraines with stress...now it's choosing insomnia...I think I'd rather go without sleep...it doesn't hurt as much.
