I can no longer say that I'm between jobs. If it had been a few more weeks, I would have been able to say that I've been out of work for years (plural). yikes. I leave the dust bowl of Texas on Friday and head to the promised land of Tennessee. I'm a modern day Tom Joad. I hope my car performs better than the Joad truck.Here are some statistics to illustrate how great this great recession has been... I estimate that I applied for 600 jobs over the 23 months. I had about 15 phone screens. I had 8 face to face interviews and I got one job offer. The job is in Clarksville, TN which is about 50 miles northwest of Nashville. It's right on the Kentucky border.
The time off hasn't been all bad. I went to pastry school while I was looking for a job. I got a lot of chores done. However.... I'm looking forward to working again.
