Inspiring! I am entering my 10th month of unemployment and am feeling like the cauldron of connections is really starting to boil with action. A few months ago, I was feeling as though everyone contacting me was unemployed and wanted to adhere themselves to me-I am a connector and a very good networker-people like my energy and seem to want to drain me of it. So I have learned to be selective about who I meet with and how I meet with them. Email and phone calls is reasonable for me to help someone else. Takes less time, and it is still sufficient to see that I really am not the magic key to finding them a job. However, now I am starting to be approached by people who are gainfully employed, who are consultants and who are searching me out to collaborate. I don't know if I will ever be able to earn an income as a consultant. However, I might be able to earn some money until I do land that next position. As a nonprofit professional, I have seen the field be absolutely decimated, but like I said, the cauldron is beginning to percolate again...this post is just the one I needed right now to spur me on. So thank you! This was a great story. Inspiring! I am entering my 10th month of unemployment and am feeling like the cauldron of connections is really starting to boil with action.

Her determination to never giving up, bared fruit. This is a big encourangement, and we should be focused the same way. Am jealous of how Tania was rich in content in her preparedness for a job hunt.
