After my last job-related post my leads ran cold. The job with the long commute turned me down 5 months after I first applied. I was only a little disappointed because that hour and 15 drive each way was not a draw.
Last week I interviewed to possibly cover someone's maternity leave this summer. The next day I had another interview at the same company to temp-to-hire for a strategic communications job. That could work. And it's close enough for a "normal" commute.
Still, now 8 months into being unemployed, I've learned to temper my optimism. This recession has made employers both cautious and in the position to be very, very choosy. Nothing is a done deal, but I'll keep pluggin'.
