Any Good Job Opportunities


Posted: Feb 26, 2008
Hi, I hope this school year is going well so far. I'm emailing you to ask that you let me know if you hear of any good job opportunities that you feel would suit me. This job is o.k. but I don’t feel this is the right company for me to grow with. So just e-mail me, if you see anything. (Note: Student on job 4 months.)


Natascha Replied:

I received your message, Did you not want to share details? As in: what is it about the job that you don't like? Maybe we can trouble shoot those areas and find out what you can do to manage while you focus on increasing your networks verses jumping ship too soon. Plus, if you focus some time on networking; opportunities will come to you. What exactly do you do there?
