New Year, New Month, New Possibilities!
I am trying so hard to make good on my promise to post more often. I am still enjoying the freelance life--so I need extra hours in the day. My new word of advice to people that have been in the work field but are looking is to volunteer. I know--working for free is not so easy but you can form valuable retationships that can later turn into a fulltime job!! A person that is dependable and keeps their word is a shoe in for a full time position. Employers will think of you when there is a position that is not posted yet. You can get your name in the pot and people that have worked with you will have great things to say!! So Happy Volunteering!!! I also posted some paid opportunites!
