OT: Job Search Help Needed

on 5/8/08 5:16 am - MN
Hey all,   After about 6 years of doing the same thing at my job, I'm burnt out.  I've decided that I need to move on to bigger and better things.  My boss is being very supportive of my decision.  For their sake, I've had to put an end date on my employment with them so I plan to leave Right at the end of August.  That means, I've got to get my rear in gear and find another job ASAP.   That's where you come in.  If there's one thing I've learned working for an outplacement firm for 6 years, it's that networking is the #1 way to find a new job. If you hear of any job that would fit my skills, please let me know and if possible, put in a good word for me. I have a resume, but it was last updated for my last Graphic Design class - it's not a "typical" resume because I was shooting for more of design look - but it will give you the highlights.  I plan to update in the next week or so and would be happy to share with anyone at that time or I could send the current one if you know of something now.   I have no idea what I want to do next.  I'd love something in Graphic Design, but I don't fit the typical mold - I'm more into "layout" than the actual design process, plus an entry level Designer doesn't make the kind of money I currently make so it might be hard for me to "get in" to the biz.   So if you would be so kind to keep your eyes and ears open for any opportunity that might fit my skills, please let me know.   Thank you so much for your help!    P.S. Right now it isn't public to everyone at my work, so if you know of anyone at Right Management, please don't share this with them.
