It’s tough right now out there. I keep hearing reports that things will get better, but they don’t seem to be. I’ve been called for fewer and fewer interviews. There seem to be fewer jobs posted. The holidays are about the worst time anyone could be looking for a job as it is, but in a bad economy, it’s almost impossible.

For those that may not know, I’ve been unemployed since February. Part of why it’s taken me so long to get a new job is I am applying to jobs that aren’t strictly IT anymore. I have found through my work that I really enjoy interacting with people. Now I’m looking for positions as an interactive web producer, project manager, or community manager.

It’s hard to stick to wanting to find something you’ll enjoy and/or find a company that you want to work hard for. I’m enjoying GamingAngels, but I have to start earning money. Things are slim and it’s not going to get better. I heard a report last night that job losses will continue to happen through all of 2010 and that companies are not going to be hiring.

It’s all very discouraging. I want to be creative, I want to work hard, and yet…nothing seems to be out there. But I’m going to keep my spirits up and keep applying. Going to work hard on just keeping things going and working smarter.

Tomorrow I get to interview Jillian Michaels. Cool huh?
