Looking Up

Hey all,

January is done and I'm ready for my next phase.

This month already, I have a local test for a job with our local city as a recruiter and human resource generalist.  I have been looking online helps to help me study for this test.  I have no idea what is expected of me, but I don't want to be left in the cold, unknowing what is expected for me.

I have taken tests for government jobs twice in my life.  One time, I applied for a postal worker position.  The other time, I took a test for bookkeeping.  It was the hardest test I ever took.  It amazes me how much stuff the tests cover and how much one really knows.

I think that at times, it is really luck of the draw.

A good job searcher as I am, I am not putting all my eggs in that basked.  I've done that before and it gave me nothing.  Just because I have an opportunity with the local government, I am still filling out applications. 

Today, I got in contact with a recruiter who e-mailed me about an opportunity with a public utility company.  The offers the recruiter is going to put in for me sounds very exciting.  The opportunities are contract, which seems to be the way I'm going to either get my foot in, or get more experience.

I have a few other companies that have contacted me through e-mail and I will be contacting them tomorrow on my day off. 

And while all this is happening, I am back to recruiting and hiring for the company I currently work.  Just because I'm looking for more opportunity, doesn't mean I drop the ball at my job.  No burning bridges for me.  I need every connection I can get.
