Overwhelmed

I am overwhelmed at all the support and encouragement I have received from my friends, family and coworkers regarding my resignation. Thank You. And, to answer your questions, I have no idea what is next. I'm hopeful that I can get some contract design work until I find a permanent position but I'll wear pantyhose again (eww) and answer phones or wait tables if I have to.

For the first time in a long time, I'm overwhelmed with possibilities for my future and I'm starting to get my groove back. Looking for jobs is hard work, but it can also be entertaining. For instance, sometimes you come accross very strange requests or requirements, for example:

All candidates must submit a portfolio (online link or print) of your published work, and a picture of themselves in professional attire with their resume.

or:

Must demonstrate excellent verbal and interpersonal communication skills including management of the angry physician or health care provider.

or:

I’m a 28 y/o male and invite all to reply. Tell me why you are interested and leave a phone number.

or:
