Career Management

Super busy today. Because I started the Career Management that is part of my layoff package. I know I already have a job and all. However, I think it's worthwhile looking into. If I have to guess I'd say it probably would cost a couple thousand a person.

They work with career assesement, resume writing, networking, and even starting your own business. Some great resources available, all free for me. It will help prepare me for the future and all. However, all the workshops are during the day (as they expect people to be without jobs). I'm trying to fit everything in before I have to start work. Tomorrow I have six hours and I need to get the prep work done before having to work at cafe tonight. I will write more when I have some time.
