I have now applied for 130 jobs in the past 3+ months. I have had two in-person interviews and several more phone interviews. Very few of the jobs have been positions similar to what I have done in the past. Working in a position closely tied to new construction, makes for tough going at the moment.
The free-fall in residential construction appears to be continuing. Commercial vacancy rates are in the mid-teens. That must come down if new construction is to pick up.
I am beginning to think in terms of not returning to the workforce full-time. I have purchased professional liability insurance and started to move toward marketing my own business. In the coming weeks I will launch Graham Engineering. My hope is that it will generate enough income to keep me out of working for the man.
