Hmmm...

It's getting close to March. If I don't count the small jobs I have done, it will be a 7 month job search so far. Yikes! If I do count my small jobs, then, I've only been job hunting for a month and a half to two months, so that's not bad.

But 7 months... ack.

I'm just trying to think about what I should apply to...

I'm waiting to hear back from my interview last week. The interviewer mentioned they would make a decision mid-week, this week. It's Thursday now.

I've been applying to a few marketing-related jobs, but I haven't heard back yet. Reviews for applications takes time.

I tried to look at temp jobs, but some of the agencies I've looked at will not consider me because I specified that I was looking for roles in marketing and communications, when all they have at the moment is administrative jobs not in those fields, or in very small companies where growth to those departments is non-existent... and they want some one long term, and don't have any temp jobs, so I'm not being considered.

I'm looking at other job agencies. Maybe I can find a one month or two month assignment?

There are also some oil and gas companies hiring for reception and office admin positions... but I'm very hesitant, because I really didn't like those roles in the past. But then, some of these positions include marketing duties, so I do have some interest in the position.

Ah, what to do...

I'll keep applying to roles I want to work in, and roles where I could get my foot in the door. I have to remember that I am in control of accepting an offer, so there's nothing to be hesitant about when I apply.

I guess I'm just hesitant because I know I'm starting to get desperate for a job... just like I did during my last job search...

Ideally, I'd like to find a long term role, but if it is long term, it has to be in my career choice or with really good flexibility to move up to my desired position.
