Bart, your questions answered.
I got laid off today. More specifically, my "position has been eliminated." The company won't pay for my boss to have an assistant anymore.
So: Between my savings and small severance, I have living expenses through the end of my current lease, which April 30. My immediate plans include hitting up the temp agencies and filing for unemployment.
So: Advice? Ideas? Leads? (No, really. I'll send you my resume).
That sucks. No two ways about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of work do you want to do (short term, long term)?
ANYTHING (at least in the short-term).
ReplyDeleteHopefully, any of sort of office job - I have a ton experience as an executive assistant, scheduling, copyediting, doing administrative bullshit, etc. - with a salary and benefits. My last position was as a marketing assistant/assistant to the publisher at book publishing company.
I have more specific experience/interest in journalism/media, publishing/editing, politics/government/nonprofits.
But really, any leads into ANY moneymaking opportunities - including babysitting/housesitting/etc., but especially salaried office jobs - would be appreciated.
Yeah, I can't really help you since our office just laid off its receptionist. I was hoping something would click in my head when I saw your info and I'd come up with some great advice or ideas, but nothing. I'll let you know if I think of anything ...
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks. Please do pass along any leads, even if I'm probably not interested/qualified...
