Hi everyone, Thought I'd give another update on my employment situation. I spent a significant amount of time working on a business plan after meeting with a SCORE counselor in the hopes of finding an investor. The more I heard about investors (including a quote from a friend who is a financial planner, "They'll own you."), the less I wanted to go that route. I've made a decision to only do what I can on a small basis, contacting companies one at a time.
A woman from church called to ask me a computer question, and after I'd helped her, she insisted on paying me. So, I thought that might be a good way to make money, and put an ad in the paper for low-cost computer help--got nothing until last Saturday (a few weeks after the ad ran), then helped a woman who says she'll be calling back again. But it's probably not going to be enough, soon enough. My severance was good, but a lot of it went to taxes. So, I'm looking for a job. I had an interview with a recruiter last week, and have put my resume on Monster.com. I've applied for several jobs on the local job board. I've written to several translation companies, trying to get pre-press formatting work. I've even bid on some work on guru.com, but so far... nothing. I'm open for contracting if anyone knows of anything, and own Word and FrameMaker. Something will come up, I know. It's just a matter of time. Hope you're all doing well. Have a great week! Warm regards, Lisa G. ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
