Steve’s New Media Blog

I’ve gone onto a couple of big corporation’s websites and went to their career sections. Really there isn’t anything there other then sales positions. And even though I am a stellar salesman, its not what I went to school for. And we all know how bad the economy is right now… no one is buying things.  What I have found out though, is I will have to go back to school for certifications.  Maybe if I get a couple extra letters after my name besides BA, I might get a little more attention.

I am losing some skills though. I’ve notice that I’m becoming more like a mechanic every day. For those of you that don’t know.. that’s what I do currently. I keep learning new things about fixing vehicles and its taking me away from the knowledge I gained from college.  I’m afraid the longer it takes for me to get a job that I want, the less prepared I will be for it.  But, I don’t want to take anything that would pay me less than what I make now, nor take something that’s not in my discipline. Its a catch 22.  So, when I come home from a 10hr day, I sit here at the computer and look for jobs and read tutorials for 3-4 hrs a night. It makes for a really long day. Hopefully it all pays off in the end.
