Lakeway Texas employment
My husband and I have relocated to Lakeway after some really hard times in another state. Due to the economy, we lost our business and decided to start over close to family and our roots.
I am struggling with finding employment. My resume writting skills could use some help, so looking on the internet is becoming impossible. I am a hard worker, with clerical and office management skills. I have the ability to learn quickly and would be a good asset to any company. I am not picky at this point, but would need full time in order to support my family.
Please, if anyone has any suggestions, we are all living out of a 5th wheel and need to get back on our feet.

This isn't to sound degrading like you can't do better or anything, but the Galleria (at 620 and 71) has tons of new shops and restaurants opening, so why not venture over there and get a job just to have a job and look for a "real" job while you're still bringing in paychecks?

I have been there and already applied to just about everything. I keep telling myself that I have only been here a couple of weeks, and it is too soon for anyone to call me back, but bills are piling up. Like I said before, I am not picky at this point, having no employment is more degrading to me than not working .

Sorry to sound so naive, but like I said, I am new to the area. What is Sprouts, and where is RR?

RR is Round Rock, and Sprouts is a grocery/natural foods store, and I believe their grand opening is today.

I'm not sure if you would like this type of work or not, but my husband is in freight and the turnover rate at a lot of those companies as far as office staff is kind of high so maybe you could go to some of them and apply.
