So my WS and I had a session with our MC yesterday afternoon. I had intended to spend only half the time going over some things I have been doing to crank up the job search mechanism (creating a website for myself, register with online job sites, attending networking meetings, updating resume, exploring career options). We spent all of the time on my job search; my WS and I had planned beforehand to do it half and half; half the session on my concerns and half on hers. She didn't seem to mind that we spent all the time on me, however. One thing she asked the MC, which made me feel very appreciated and loved, was she asked him how she could support me in this trying time. I responded, "Just listen, and repeat back to me what you hear are my concerns, and make suggestions." Anyway, we found out, or reinforced, that my main problem with this !%$&!!@#! job search is going to be my difficulty with asserting myself and my low self esteem. But we will work on that.
I notice that I am not getting any response to these postings, . . . . . which is OK. I think the reason Uncle NY Survivor suggested I move to it is that he was feeling harassed by my comments and wanted me to move to a site that doesn't get much traffic, . . . . . which again is OK. I am content to just write down my thoughts to make them a little clearer in my mind.
