Finally, a new "permanent" job! [View all]

After two-and-a-half years of unemployment and a month-and-a-half as a temp, I was promoted to a permanent full time job. It's not the job I want or the pay I had, but it's enough to live decently until I get where I want to be. And, most importantly, it's in my field!!It finally took asking someone to help me find an opening. She then referred me to a friend who referred me to her friend in the organization. And already there is an internal opening that pays what I want and is better suited to my experience. Things are looking up for us. Don't give up. If I can find something, so can you.
