Day 12 - I grind along

Not much exciting today. A lot of new postings (first of the month) so there was more work getting through them all. Unfortunately, not much that was a match for me.



I continue to do my usual:

• Check job posting alerts (and apply for any matches)
• Check e-mail
• Catch up on tweets, LinkedIn and Facebook
• Update blog

Getting tired of seeing this part of the blog yet? I do this on purpose. Like any job, there are parts of it that simply must happen - every day. It is not sexy, it is not fun, it is just necessary.

It is time to move to more networking. I am going to look at some of the classes available to me through the staffing firm that came with my package from D&B. I may not be utilizing this enough. In addition, I need to set some regular 1:1 meetings with my "coach". I started that, but when I got the interview I kind of let that fall off to the side. This was a mistake - one I need to correct.

On the personal side of things, today was my mother's birthday. I got her a cake and I and the kids went to her house and had cake and root beer floats. My sister and her family along with a couple of my mom's friends were there too -- it was a nice little get-together.
