The Job Search Continues

I obviously haven't blogged nearly as much as I would like recently, and I have no other excuse than making the time to write is not my forte. Having said that, I'll at least give a brief update on what I have been doing for the past (almost) 2 months.

As you know, I returned to Oklahoma at the beginning of October after a total of 6 months in Italy. I have been searching for employment and determining the next career steps I would like to take. One might ask: what have you been doing for 2 months without a job? Well, I assure you it has been a lot more than sitting around eating bon-bons. In fact, the process of finding a job and (possibly even more important) planning your career path is both time-consuming and tedious.

The good news is that although I am not "there" yet, I feel I have come a long way. I have been working through several books that help identify your interests, strengths, ideal positions, etc. and have been able to narrow down significantly what I think my next career move should be. I've applied for several jobs in the Tulsa area and will continue to plug along.

I am still primarily looking at international companies and particularly focusing on marketing/ strategy-planning positions, but if anyone has any job/ company ideas for me, I'd be happy for the advice or a contact!
