job-hunting 1.0

April 5th, 2007

I received my first callback from job-hunting this week.

Someone from the outplacement company in Chicago got my resume and called to discuss the editorial position they are filling. The job is full-time, in the Loop, and involves editing resumes for laid-off employees: not my first choice of job, but I would do it.

Problem? The salary starts in the mid-20s, and the company offers no benefits. Considering health insurance alone would take a big chunk of my pay, I’d barely make enough to survive. Pass.
