I am learning its better to have a job while you are looking for a job. I am working for a leading car maker in their customer support center as a contract worker helping to support their business. I thought I would be sent making calls like 2-3 months from now, but they sent us in the gauntlet like 3 weeks after being hired. Right now I am going to take the county exam for employment on Thursday and hope the scores get graded soon. I previously took the exam so I should likely master the questions on job behaviors/norms. And the computer questions test I think i did well on 23/25 questions last time. This time I am going to study the question on how to make macros in Microsoft Word.


I honestly thought I was not going to be doing any customer contact for the next 2-3 months, but I got sent to a side project that does not require much customer contact. I am thinking its a passive way to dismiss some of us. However it is time for me to find a new job until that time happens by the end of the year at best. Right now I am processing paperwork for class action settlements for the company I am with.

I hate the fact that I am being paid to watch the paint dry metaphorically speaking like 2 days a month. I honestly want a purpose.

Do you have any actual skills? If you do, it would make sense to look
for work in that/those areas. If you don't, perhaps it's better to "go
back to school" for a while to get a skill that will get you a job.

I was thinking about entering a paralegal program and specialize in labor law. If I end up having problems, I'll be going to community college again and working part time for a year and get the classes knocked out to completion.

My son is getting his paralegal certificate in Washington DC. The
starting salary there (and there is a big demand as you can imagine) is $55-$65K USD annual. He's a recent college grad (Political Science
degree, so it's either that, law school or McDonalds).

If you are interesed in areas of law, it's a great window into that
world, as you'll get to work with attorneys in (hopefully) a field you
are interested in.

Cheers and good luck!

Or become a school teacher like in 7th-12th grade kids too.

Sounds like a plan. Get started!
