It’s been nearly a month since my last entry. I’ve had two interviews, one for which I still am awaiting a response. I’ve started applying for positions other than my ’dream job’ as a paralegal. There don’t seem to be any entry level paralegal positions available in this area. So, I’ve responded to three advertisements for administrative assistant positions. I am hopeful that my training, previous employment experience and life experience will qualify me for one of these positions. Even though Michigan is number one in the nation for unemployment, I am confident that there is a job for me somewhere!
On a more personal note, life is getting back to normal since the passing of my husband’s parents in April and July. I have resolved to keep healthy by eating right and exercising. I am blessed to be free of most of the ailments that plague most older people and hope to stay that way!
I’ve been reading the journals of my fellow ’dream job’ winners and pray that we all attain a measure of our dreams. There have been some very useful posts in the water cooler and new worker job groups. I;m thankful for any suggestions, hints and help given by other AARP folks. Until my next post...God’s blessings to all! Stef
