It's time to hire me!

Well, I have lived in Colorado since September 16th and have yet to land that perfect job. I'm looking and finding positions I think I would love. I send in my resume and try to connect with hiring managers or others in the company that may get my foot in the door. So far, nothing has worked. I do have some new connections but for the most part, my efforts have not been successful.

I wonder what I am doing wrong. I am an active user of LinkedIn, have my blog, worked diligently building my ranking on Google, converse with folks on Twitter, and send at a minimum 5 resumes a week to the positions that I qualify for. I am careful to not send resumes for positions that do not fit my skills and experience. There are positions I apply for because I would love to learn the industry or skills they are looking for in the posted position. (I think I said position too many times there.)

One of my goals is to maintain active relationships with recruiters and other job seekers. I hope that my efforts to help others will encourage them to help me or at the very least, assist in them remembering me.

So, I find myself looking at various colleges and degree programs to further my education and knowledge. Schools like EcoTech sound promising to learn about the energy efficiency industry. The local community college has some very interesting certificate programs that couldn't hurt to have. The main issue is, of course, MONEY. I am not yet a resident for the community college and private schools simply cost a small fortune. Especially when you are unemployed.

The good news, I still have hope! I love advertising and marketing and I am really good at it. My drive to find the right company and the right position is going strong! So all you hiring managers out there...call me! Let's talk about what I can do for you and what you can do for me in return! I love team work and a challenge so bring it on!
