Thank you all for your responses, words of advice and encouragement. I sometimes think I'm the ONLY one dealing with this because I'm home alone while my spouse gets up and goes to work every morning, pays the bills, etc.
I hate the word termination-I hate writing it on an application and I hate that I'm in this situation now.
I am no longer on umemployment and of course we can't extend it (thank you so much george bush-but i digress). So I've registered with several temp agencies who always have this shocked look on their faces when they see Oliva Russo, MBA (from a top 25 school mind you) on the resume. It runs the gamut from "okay something must be wrong with you" to "you poor little thing-this horrible economy" as they sit back in their plush chairs in their office full of cherry wood furniture. (not that i'm bitter). I would be interested in the statistics of how many MBAs, etc. are out of work and the avg. amount of time between jobs.
I can definitely say that I have learned the true meaning of patience, faith, and OH SO MUCH about my self and how supportive my spouse is. Thanks again for your responses. |

Sounded like you writing about my last 10 months on the job search - with MBA and bad recruiters and all. Any luck yet? I need ideas too!!
