| mushkambaryan | Posted – 1/23/2008 4:05:58 PM | show profile Hello again, guys! I am still looking for work in Communications (so frustrating!) Someone suggested that I contact non-profits. They don't list non profit organizations in Yellow Pages. Do you think it's a smart think to do to contact the ones listed on idealist.org? I want to call their Comm depts and ask for a job? What do you think? Thanks!! |

| mushkambaryan | Posted – 1/25/2008 8:48:03 PM | show profile Thank you, Lula! In the past, I have posted a few entries about my desperate attempts to find a job...But I keep coming back. It's been really frustrating. Sometimes, I have a feeling that something is wrong with me. On the one hand, I have so much to offer. On the other hand, companies (and even) NFP are looking for very specific skills. Or offer very little money. I wonder if it's possible at all to find some balance. Nice pay and a decent job, the job I could tolerate for at least a year. |
