Today I received a phone call about a job I had applied for in San Diego. At first I was excited because I've been so depressed about the 4 interview process to a "thanks but no thanks" answer. After talking to the person for a few minutes, I realized something that I hadn't noticed before. Living here and actually having a job is a liability. If I was already there with no job, they'd want to interview me. As soon as they hear that I don't live there and can't just jump on a plane or in a car to get to an instant interview, they send me the email that they decided not to continue with me for the process. So, what do I do? Do I just quit my job, pack up and move back like I did 14 years ago? Is that what it will take to get me back where I want to be? I'm more level headed now. I think things through and need a plan before doing something. Having a job before I go out there seems like the most logical thing to do, but maybe it isn't.
I also feel like my biggest downfall is my ability to hold interest in a job. I get bored easily and lack patience for dealing with external customers of any kind. I've had many different types of positions in accounting, banking, and customer service. I do have a degree in early childhood education. So...where does that leave me? What I want to do is teach. What I don't have is my student teaching completed. I can't go 4 months without a paycheck to get it done either. Plan...I need a plan...or a suggestion of some sort...please...
