I have decided to pull my energy from a more positive place. So far this morning it is working, but there are cracks starting to form.
I applied for a second internal position after talking with someone up the chain of command over it. I also followed it up with an email to the HR person, as he suggested. I am not holding my breath.
The first internal position that I applied for is not moving forward as far as I can tell. I submitted the application yesterday morning and have heard nothing. The people over the position have not been given my name or my resume from HR. The admin in that department did speak to them on my behalf and so they know I am applying. They are both opting not to contact HR and just see if HR will allow me to be considered as a candidate. This does not bode well, IMO.
So.... I am getting a few more tasks of my desk and then I am setting up a spreadsheet for my job search. I am going to list all the companies and organizations that I have applied with or that I want to keep on my list for places to search each week for positions. Then I will track weeks across the x access. I can document each date that I submit an application and even link to the job posting so I can stay up on whether it is still open.
When I put things like this together for myself it makes me wonder how other people say that I do not have strong organizational skills. Maybe because my work area is not cleared off and often looks messy? huh, I bet that is it. I will note that as something to work on. Working files should probably all go in my drawers.
