Subscribe to Coffee Break Need Help! Looking for a job!

Hey Biznik Community!

I need help finding a job. Office management, admin support, customer service... I have great people skills and am a pleasure to be around!!

If you know of people who have many connections and an altruistic heart, tell them about me. Or help me out by throwing out ideas for creative ways to find a job (I am using all of the traditional techniques).

Terra Vita of Biznik extended her golden helping hand and started calling her well-connected friends for me.

I want to find a job before my mom says, "I told you so!". She is 2 days away from saying that to me. I can feel it! :))

Thanks you guys! :)

    I just want to say that wherever who chooses Banu will be very lucky. She is such a generous, warm person with a wealth of talents. Throw in the charm and your space and efforts will be enhanced.

    Oh! We can't have an "I told you so!" from mom. I've been there, Banu, and it's no fun.

    Hey, Biznikworld, anyone out there have a job (or lead) for Banu?

    I see that Terra is being her kind, sensitive self. Terra, you are wonderful.

    I hope this is too late (that you've already gotten a job to appease your mother), but if not, I use www.indeed.com for the typical job search (it pulls job listings from a wide variety of sources) and I have had great luck getting contract work via Parker Services (and Parker Technical, if you have Tech skills).

    Banu I am curious if you have an update on this - if you still need someone?

    Would love to talk with you about what virtual services you may be able to provide. I may have some thoughts and need to know where in the world of job search you are.

    also, I want to acknowledge you for being forthcoming with your needs and even the vulnerability that it took to post them.

    I am sending you a personal email Tammy. Thank you.

    PS: Vulnerability of this post: ... what was I thinking?? :)))

    Banu,

    Come to Mosaic on Wednesday morning for my event. We are going to look at ways to Create Your Career. I think you'll like the brainstorming activities and will appreciate the possibilities.

    We need your input and your smile.
