I may look outside my company for a new job
I’ve been looking for a job for several months. I’ve applied for quite a few jobs and only had a nibble or two with two interviews. Now I’m thinking of expanding my job search outside of my company. One of my good friends has relatives that work for our local county government. I had more than one person offer to put in a good reference for me with people that they know.
I would probably start pretty close to what I make now but the annual increases would be higher than what I now receive. If I got a promotion my salary would really take off. I have to really weigh the pros and cons. I don’t have a lot of seniority where I am now but if I leave I would be starting all over again.
I guess I’ll wait and see what jobs are available and go from there. There’s no sense in stressing about it and then finding out that there are no jobs that I’m qualified for. Hopefully something will open up somewhere, the sooner the better.
