So, Like, I got Fired ...

[wolf]

I have seen the company list for the job fair. Under ordinary circumstances I wouldn't waste the gas to show up, especially at the current prices.

Who's going to be there?

AVON
Mary Kay
Century 21
A big insurance company
A local Hyundai dealer
A Home Security company that advertises heavily on television
A home improvement consultant
Another insurance company
A financial planner
A pool and pool supply store franchiser
Yet Another Insurance Company
Four Online Universities
Three Headhunters
Two Advertising Sales Companies
One Software Company

No partridge in a pear tree, either.

There are some possibilities for the four online universities, although I suspect they are trying to recruit students rather than staff.

So, where does that leave me? I don't wear makeup, I don't have a real estate license and wouldn't waste the time and money on one in a down market, I dislike Korean cars, don't have any financials worth planning and am confused by same, and consider home security to be a shotgun and a 6 D-cell flashlight.

Interestingly, I do have experience with an advertising sales company, but I wasn't planning on going back to that. I have a master's degree.

Perhaps one or more of these companies will have on site EAP services.

Maybe some of these people will be giving away free stuff. One of the insurance companies offered a lame benefits package a couple of years ago, but they gave us squeezy toys.

I like squeezy toys.

Create yor own job. Market yourself to a university (obviously not on-line). With the increasing crazies that are causing problems on campus, you can be the person that mingles with the students and picks out the ones that are going to go postal. Call it "pre-psycho" identification.
