So here we go again, like a drifter I was born to walk alone...
Sorry - saw a chance for an 80's reference and took it!
It is now August and that means I am at about the 3 month mark before my current contract is up... so the (job) hunt is on!
While I would like my next job to be a full-time, non-contract, role - I understand that the economy is still in recovery and I should be grateful to be working at all right now.
But that being said, I tend to see the end of a contract as a huge opportunity - a time to look elsewhere, to explore options and think big.
Do I want to work in another part of Canada? Another part of the world?
Are you on a contract? What is your next move?
Ian...how goes it! I'm about 1.5 months from the end of my assignment. I too am on the job hunt (actually, I never stopped). I definitely want my next opportunity to be permanent. I am not getting much response to my applications and networking ventures. It's really frustrating. Yes, I've gained great experience the last 5 months...but I want to use it...and soon!
ReplyDeleteI do not want to be out of work again...it was painful for almost 2 years.
Someone, somewhere, out there must see my value.
