I will be starting a contract type of position Monday, training for a local community college. It's not a viable long-term gig, as it is only part time.
As with any "bridge job" as it is now called, you know that your search will have to be adjusted to accomodate your work schedule. The one thing we all have to keep in mind about these jobs is: 1) if you're hurting for cash, it's cash, 2) a bridge job can relieve emotional stress from #1, 3) you'll have to be more creative about making contacts, networking, etc., meeting people and calling people on lunch, before and after hours, and 4) you just never know where the so-called "bridge job" may lead.
The thing any of us have to remember is that we must press on with the job search as hard as before. Yes, you'll be tired....which is why I tell everyone, "I have to get a real job; this job of job hunting is killing me." I always invite comments and suggestions---especially on this blogpost. Thanks.
