WAW, Filing as Fast as Possible

[aeolianchaos]

So, a quick update. I'll see if I can't write some more later.

Finally got that resume/cover letter submitted. I hope these get easier with time - reading a lot about careers and work and all sorts of things. Just trying to get some perspective and see what kinds of things I could do right now without needing to go and get yet another degree. It is hard to look at the kinds of work that is out there, because I see a lot of stuff where they expect you to have x years of experience or skill in things that... well.. yeah.

Not sure if anyone has much experience w/ networking - I did find a fellow Alumnus of my undergrad working in a place I'd really be interested in. Is it kosher to just cold-contact them and ask to buy them coffee and discuss the company?

As an INFJ, most advice pushes towards counseling or psychology fields, which would be awesome except I have no academic background in those things. So in the meantime, I'm trying to find jobs that pay decently but also enable me to build or cultivate relationships, help people or teach them something, and perhaps give me opportunities to learn about what its like to be on the for-profit side of the world for once. Any suggestions for what those job titles are??

AND for relationship news:

WAW e-mailed me today. Partially functional, but also seemed to be trying to open some doors. She wrote "I feel like we should talk, but I don't know how to go about doing that.. or if you're up to it."

This could mean, she wants to get down to dividing up assets. Or it could mean she wants to talk. I'm going to respond.. its been almost a month of NC and I didn't reply to the last few things she said via txt/email.

Any ideas ?
