And so it begins: getting paid to find a job

[StageLeft]

Been in half a day so far after yesterday's .com layoff, and I've spent the morning sending out resumes, checking on websites, etc. etc.

I have till end of december and then I'm income-less, I'll let ya'll know how it works out.

Guy at my work spends 2 - 3 hours a day surfing classifieds and reading his CCNA book. He's always checking his hotmail account looking at jobs that have been emailed to him. It's no secret that he intends to leave as soon as he gets that certification (maybe even before). I find it all pretty comical.

hehe its like a comercial I have seen of a guy who's cubical is surrounded by flowers and gifts that people have sent him to try and attract him because his resume is on monster

Thats a different kind of thing compared to Skoorb .. they are laying him off .. they shouldnt complain about him trying to find another job

I went throught the same thing last march with my .com. The last week I think I spent 95% of the time I was suppose to be working looking for another job...one by one the employees left. sad, and we all thought we were going to be millionares
