Hello,

I am writing this as an additional networking tool. I have read the "What color is my parachute" to no avail...well I read what I could stay awake for, just hard for me to read that is all. However the one thing I did take away from or rather remembered was the fact I have tried more then 95% of the job search methods they identify, at one time. According to the author using more than 4 begins to decrease your productivity and likelyhood of finding a position....

So my last Blog was about my frustrations of searching for a job. I am now going on a year and a half of searching....but I have made a break through, or a realization on my career goals. I realized I have an interest or rather a dream or aspiration, but tucked it away because I thought it wasn't a probability. I have decided to pursue Architectural Design...ok a flooded market maybe, but I like the career and I know I will be good at it.
There are challenges and the challenges are:...

Well, I have posted numerous time and read more than that of job searches. The Austin area, from my perspective is a network which you must force your way in. Maybe it's because I haven't had to hunt for a job/career since I joined the Air Force in 1997, but it seems with an education, experience, and a few contacts this shouldn't be this hard. Well, I guess it also doesn't help we are in a recession...my opinion, and some of the critics say otherwise, but we are in one as far as I can tell....
