Companies can be very picky, although there's absolutely no reason to blame them for being so. I just hope companies will give out more opportunities to train those who they think may have the potential to do great in the fields they have available. In any way, thanks for sharing that, Pat! I wish you all the best on your job hunting!<br /><br /><a href="http://allforcelaboursolutions.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Waylon Grimm @ All Force Labour Solutions</a>Waylon Grimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423430457569890948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651058317830668643.post-90041707062906425012014-11-19T12:51:58.965-05:002014-11-19T12:51:58.965-05:00You should start listing yourself as employed (as ...You should start listing yourself as employed (as a writer, because that's true).

This may include a personality test (just to steal more of your time) Then a lot of people don't know how to interview, so that leaves it up to you to do all the talking. One tip that worked well for me is taking some sort of proof with you of the work you can do. In my case, I brought samples of excel spreadsheets. The whole key is to stand out from the crowd.

It has to do with budget cuts and stuff. All the people across the hall from me got fired and are unemployed as of December 1st. Anyway, it got me to wondering what I'd do if I lost my job.<br /><br />Well for one, I'd go sign up for unemployment and for two, I'd look for work anywhere in the United States. And I actually mean "anywhere." The kind of job I'd be looking for is "Technical Writer" as that's what my degree is in.<br /><br />Anyway, I found a bunch of openings. One was in Santa Barbara, another in Oregon, and a third in D.C. I honestly could care less between all of those as I wouldn't be picky. Which leads me to ask: why aren't you pursuing jobs everywhere? Are you dead set on Arizona? Dude, if I were you, I'd toss resumes everywhere from Utah to New York City and see where your hat lands. You have no ties, no strings, and that's a kind of freedom in its own right.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
