What To Do now ?

     I have been working on several things this summer.  I am taking a professional recertification course, and I attended a technology conference earlier this month.   Last week, I volunteered at a camp for deaf children.   So, I have not had a lot of time to focus on finding temporary employment for the summer. As, the summer passes and August draws nearer, I am not sure that I will.  However, I can still began to start to focus on refining a job hunt for future employment. 
       I receive job alerts, but they do not fit my needs.  Maybe, I need to reprogram my job alerts at these online career sites.  I will try to figure out the next best step.

Lazy Hot Days of Summer !

Last week,  I attended a conference.  It was a technonology conference for educators.  This week I will be volunteering at the school for the deaf.  However, I did find time to begin a new web site.  It is still under construction.  But visit it if you have a chance   cyberrobins.

Week #3

This past week I attended  a technology conference for educators.  It was interesting and informative and I am still reviewing information from the conference.  I received some information from other online career sites but nothing to supplement income for the summer. So I will keep searching.  Something will happen soon.  

Next Steps !

This weekend I plan to use search engines and some online websites to look for employment.  I have been doing this for months but now I am looking for summer employment.  Summer is here and I will need some income for the months that school is out.  But  I am limited because I am taking workshops, one is out of town, as well as some courses.   So I am looking for online income.  I am sure something will turn up soon!

Work At Home

This summer I am trying to find a work at home job because I really do not have time to drive to a regular job.  However, all of my internet searches turn up jobs that need me to check in with a regular office or keep office hours.  I   need a more flexible schedule.  I am taking courses and attending workshops this summer.  I will need to keep searching !!   

Summer Fun

As the school year was ending, I began to think of ways to supplement my income from home.  I began to search on- line work at home opportunities such as data entry or typing.  The problem is when I search telecommuting data entry or work at home data entry, I get jobs that need full time employees permanently.  The problem is that my summer is filled with recertification workshops and courses.  I must complete these to maintain a valid teaching certificate.  So I am stuck.   

Why I am looking for full time employment ?

      Currently, during the school year, I am either at work or at school.  I work as hard as none with full time employment because I am rarely at home.  And because many of the courses for my area of study are offered on line, I ususally have Saturday classes.  So why is a person with two graduate degrees looking for full time employment?  Well, I worked in government for several years. At that time the economy was bad and security for continuous employment was up in the air.  I had just completed graduate school, and I would be released first in a budget cut.  Our grants were not secure.  I returned to school to become a certified educator.  At that time education jobs were pretty secure. 
       I had an illness and  left teaching for over ten years.   When I returned, I was old enough to experience job discrimination.  And my graduate degree ,which usually is a plus became a disadvantage.  A 22 year old with no experience is cheaper to hire than a teacher with a master's.  So I began working as a certified substitute and have been doing this for 4 years.  So, that answers, somewhat, why am I looking for full time employment.   

JOB SEARCH JOURNEY

I am on a journey to find employment.   I am taking ASL courses and working part time.  I hope to one day work with deaf students in some capacity.  My employment has taken me on several paths.  And I am attempting to find the ideal job.  I have been without full time employment for some time.  I will blog and let you know how my search comes along.  I hope this blog can help me to organize my thoughts and clear my mind.
