Speaking of “Real World” . . .

. . . I’m back to it today: Job Hunting started last night and will continue afoot, obviously.  The local market is tough because I don’t know how to negotiate within the FARs and DFARs of the government.  Then there’s the issue of people converting positions that they say are local to telecommute– having years of experience in negotiation and telecommuting doesn’t always play out the right way in the world of employment.

Thanks to Marissa Mayer, I’m having to convince people that my work ethic is equal to that of their parents because of years of dedication and knowing what and how to telecommute.  It doesn’t matter where you work (office or home), if you haven’t got a good work ethic, you don’t have a good work ethic– fortunately, I have a stellar work ethic but I have to convince people of that still.
