Year End Job Search

Hello Everyone: It was a quieter day. I tried to finish filling out a profile for a care giver company but got really bogged down by the technology. I'll try again tomorrow. Persistance pays. Right now, I'm feeling a bit frustrated that the job search isn't yielding any success. I also have to keep in mind that it's the winter holiday season and no one is really in the office at the moment. One good thing I did today was sign up for another information Zoom about a community college teacher internship program. I already signed up for one from the certificate program at one of the local universities. The one I signed up for today looks completely doable and free. I like that. I should know all the particulars soon enough. In the meantime I have to find a way to support myself. One of the things I'm looking for is a job that will be in service to my goal. In other words, something that will give me any experience and income stream to help me reach my goal of teaching in a community college. This is important to me because I don't want to get distracted with work that doesn't interest me. Sometimes it is worth taking a job for the paycheck. I do like to work because it gives me a real sense of purpose. The good thing about being a companion-caregiver is that I get that sense of purpose by helping someone. Call it pay it forward after all the help I got during mum's illness. It's not easy work but it is rewarding work. Anyway, perhaps I should just downshift the job search right now because really nothing is going to happen until after the new year. The one thing that could really throw a wrench into my plan is if the county arts and culture department sends me an email about testing for the program assistant job I applied to. It would also be a good opportunity and I'd definitely give it a ride. Really I want a secure job that will give a life. I don't know if I want to work until I drop anymore.
