I am pumping myself up to start looking for a new job. Oh my goodness I thought selling myself to an employer was hard in normal times. How the heck am I going to do this three years into a pandemic?
Sigh, want to see how fierce I look on the trail?
Pretty darn fierce with my sunscreen not rubbed in, three non-matching hand knits and my new big sunglasses! You should see me in my sun hat! Rawr!!!
Now for a sneak peak into a MKAL, that as always I am late joining. What all my excuses were really good for starting late. Hard to start when you don't have the yarn! (And a bunch of other things, like time.)
Hmm I wonder how I ever managed to pick my colors for this... yep when you don't know what colors to choose look at what you're wearing and get some inspiration. I was wearing this lap quilt that a friend's mom made. Are those not fantastic colors?! I feel better now talking about knitting.
Back to the idea of selling my skill set to an employer. Seriously how to people get excited about interviewing and typing up who you are into one sheet of paper? Oh my goodness I am such an introvert. But hey that is one of my positive traits too. I like to focus in on a situation and work it till it is done. I am an excellent worker bee I just need to find the right hive for me.
No really I need to value myself as much as I would tell anyone else to value themselves. I deserve to work in a good place for a good wage. Someplace will be lucky to have me working for them. I just have to do the not fun stuff of matching us up in the meantime.
OK that was a good pep talk now can I go knit some? I am only three colors away from being finished with baby blanket for my friend's 2.5 year old grandchild. Hey I got the project when the kid was 1.75 years old I'm doing pretty darn good considering.
No really I am going to go knit now, for real.
Anyone would be lucky to have you. I had a staff member quit last week, which was helpful because I was fixing to let her go. Sometimes stuff just works out.
