Looking for threads in a broad skill set

I have a broad skill set.  I have done front end design of web pages, back end coding, worked as an office manager, in retail, and most recently in Christian ministry.  I love that I have a wide variety of experiences to draw from.  However, it can be daunting as well.  When you find yourself without a job, where do you begin?  What kind of job do you look for?

There are a couple of threads that run through my experience.  I love working with computers and new technology.  These days I am fascinated with social media and its use in business and marketing.  I am always reading and trying to learn more and love opportunities to do hands on work.  Most of what I know about computers and coding I have learned on my own.

The second thread is people.  I love helping people whether it is finding the best product in a store or helping them understand, find or do something on their computer.  Most of the jobs I have been in I have ended up being a sort of personal help-desk to those around me and I love it.  One of my first jobs, I did a lot of training.  There is nothing like being able to see the light come on when someone finally gets something.

I don’t know what I will end up doing, but I do look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow.

 

How do you spend your day when job searching?

It’s been a while since I have had any time to blog. Now that I am looking for a job again, I have decided to get back to it.  I have a little more time on my hands and I thought it would be an interesting experiment to blog my search.

Today, is officially my first day on the job looking for a job. I’ve been looking for  a while , but today is my first day to be looking and not working at the same time.  One of my goals today is to lay out my plan for how I spend my time.  They say you should work at looking for a job as if it is a job.  So here’s my question.  If you were looking for a job, how would you spend your time?
