Job Hunting, etc

So my 'vacation' is finally over and I am now actively looking for work. I cannot count the number of electronic copies of my resume I have distributed in the past 3 weeks lets just say if I were in Nigeria, my resume would have wound up as wrapping paper for the boli seller! Although I am confident I will get work, I am just a litlle bit worried that it might take awhile, my hosts are great people and I won't want to begin to be or be perceived as a burden. Princess is also anxious about my unemployed state although for a completely different reason - time spent in-doors on the computer job searching is time spent away from the great outdoors and all those prospective husbands! You gotta love my mum!!! When she voiced her concerns on the phone yesterday, I must have laughed for 10 mins straight, her concerns did put a refreshing take on the whole job search thing.

No wonder you've been so quiet. Job hunting takes up so much time. Hope you find something great soon, so that you can get out and about and meet all those great Southern men. ;-)

Infact!

Job search is a full time job by itself. Especially for anyone new in the country, with all the CV (sorry, resume) reformatting, profile creation on multiple job sites and more. All the best!

Don't get too anxious. Sometimes (almost always in fact) job hunting takes a while. I must have applied for a million jobs when I first got to the UK and recieved LOADS of rejections but one finally came through. So persevere and Good Luck with the man hunting :-)
