Thanks everyone, the job hunt hasn't been great so far - mainly because I had a couple of weeks where I just got so overwhelmed I shut down and didn't get much of anything accomplished. I did get one telephone interview, but it didn't go anywhere.
I'm feeling a tad more positive today - I managed to apply to 5 jobs yesterday, and I've already heard back from one of them, and have a telephone interview today. Nervous.
My career coaching thing was good. But it definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone. He wants me to be a lot more aggressive in job hunting. He wants me to redo, slightly, my resume, come up with a one page marketing piece for myself, start targeting hiring managers directly with direct mail cards promoting myself, doing one on one networking meetings, and start a business blog. EAK!!! I don't think I can handle one on one networking meetings - too scary for me. But I'm thinking about the other stuff.
Found another job today, that I'll apply to. My weird background in sales and finance would make me a perfect fit for it.
