The Job Search Continues

Ooh, it's been too long between posts! So I completed the Strengthsfinder assessment, and my top 5 strengths are:

Learner - has a great desire to learn and wants to continuously improve.
Harmony - looks for consensus, doesn't enjoy conflict, seeks areas of agreement.
Input - has a craving to know more, likes to collect and archive all kinds of information.
Individualization - intrigued with the unique qualities in each person, has a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively.
Intellection - characterized by their intellectual activity, introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

I think those are pretty accurate. I highly recommend Strengthsfinder 2.0 if you're trying to figure out what makes you tick!

So right after I last wrote, I went to a staffing company and had a great meeting with them. They have many connections at the hotels and said they could definitely use me for high-level admin work. I haven't had any work from them yet, but I think they might be my best bet. I have filled out probably 10 online applications and have not heard a thing on any one of them! It's frustrating! At least with a recruiter, some one is somewhat advocating for me rather than just being one of hundreds applying online. Unemployment is higher here than the national average so I know it will take time. In the meantime, I'm trying to "let go" and enjoy the summer. I'm certainly keeping up on my TV shows! Well, I'm off to watch a recorded Royal Pains while Dominic naps!
