I'm wondering if y'all can help me. I'm currently looking for a job, I've
gotten several callbacks at least 10 interviews... but over two months...
No job. ( I realize 2 months isn't a long time) but I think there might be
something ELSE I can be doing so that I can secure the job I want.
A little background about me: I'm 25, with Spastic Diplegic C.P. I have a
B.S. in Psychology, and graduated in 1997. I can walk on my own without
crutches, etc. I quit my last part-time job because it couldn't offer me
any advancement, and I was bored spitless. I am still working there on an
on-call basis, however, the days I'm required to go in are few and far
between.
Any suggestions you all can give me would be great...Below is a text copy
of my resume: The original DOES in fact have contact information on it, and
I usually send it out in Word format.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Joanne
