Surgery Scars, job searching, and depression

[RCB]

Dani,
It is not so important that you get the perfect job right away, but to get yourself out there. Network, Network, Network. To get yourself going you could volunteer someplace where you could put your skills to work. At the same time you build your resume. Lots of time, you meet people with connections to paying jobs and LORs.
Remember, employers like to hire people who will get along with other people and are upbeat- make sure you practice your interviewing skills on other people to convey a cheerful person and be patient.
Keep smiling and best of luck- you will do great!

Try Banks

Try Banks

Banks are always looking for tellers. This is similar to some of the positions you are looking for now. Turnover is in the 20-30% range and a degree is a plus offering more rapid growth. It allows you start slow and get comfortable before moving up.

Another position in banks that offers flexibility is in the call center - this is another area with high turn over.

Finally, if you have a CompSci degree but are not interested in puters, try entry level position in IT Auditing. This has little to do with traditional computing and is more control related with lots of people contact.

Just remember that HR department's for these areas are always swamped looking for people and therefore bery busy, so you may need to knock ont he door and express interest more than once in most cases.

Best wishes,
G
