This is the start of my third week of unemployment. I have completely reformatted my resume. It now looks better and is formatted to the type of job that I now want to go for. Yes, I have decided to slightly change careers and try for a career as Project Manager, Producer, or Web Producer. I am interested in Project Management and am trying to get my PM certification. Money is basically holding me back, but isn’t that always the case?

Yes I’ve decided to switch from IT. The typical Systems Admin, Network admin, help desk roles. Because frankly, they bore me. While I know alot about IT, I am best at mixing my IT knowledge with others to get a project completed. I know how to really talk to people that don’t understand IT. It’s time I go for a position where I am engaged and enthusiastic about working there. Hopefully never have to change an printer toner again.

In addition to looking for jobs daily, I have also filed my unemployment. The process seems to take a long time before you get approved to get your first check.

So all that should have me worried, only I’m not. Every day I have a full schedule with tasks on both GA, and personal life. I barely have time to actually rest. I don’t ever just sit on the couch and veg out. I’m either contacting people, scheduling appointments, writing articles or working on the dev site. Which is extremely interesting to me. I love working on GA. Just need to get myself to stop updating the old site and work on the new site.

The sun is absolutely beautiful today and hopefully it shows that the days will start getting warmer. I will be attending GDC next week. I have a full three days of appointments. Should be fun and I have some serious work I want to do there. I hope to represent for GamingAngels.com in the best way that I can.

I actually thought I’d get to rest more being unemployed. But I’m busier than ever. I guess that’s just me. ^_^
