You may also want to look into trying to set up volunteer work connected to your field, so you keep your resume busy. I have years of no paid work covered by what I did with my game groups. It was legitimate management work (arguably board of directors level), so it counts for something. It is just unpaid. |
Yea, I need to look into volunteer work either at animal shelter or somewhere. Unfortunately, Austin has a very small Zoo which is pretty far away from where I live. I did volunteer at the Houston Zoo once when I was in college (went to Texas Tech but was taking courses at HCC one summer). It was alright but they pretty much just made me do bitch work that they really didn't want to do (I worked in the bird department and mainly cleaned crap out of the cages while trying to avoid being pecked at by some of the birds). So I will get off my lazy ass and try to find something that is degree related for me.
Thought it was pretty cool that you got a spot in the newspaper. The only time that happened to me was during college. I made a Facebook group (no longer a member to any social sites) that lumped all the Nintendo fans at Texas Tech into one group. They called and interviewed me on the phone about the name change from Revolution to Wii and whether Nintendo stood a chance in the home console business. Caught me a little by surprise so I didn't give as good of answers as I wanted.
