Day 31: One Month

It's been a month exactly since I've been laid off.

I've been applying for tutoring jobs online.

In the past, I've just looked for any job I could do, regardless of if I actually would want to do it. Because of that, I always had to have like 6 versions of my resume, each one focusing on a different aspect of my experience to "sell" me for the position I was trying for.

Now that I've decided what I really want to do, I've made my resume with that focus in mind, and have only been applying for jobs where that resume works to "sell" me. It's been a much more enjoyable job hunt, though if I didn't have Hans working and supporting me, there is no way I could do it like this.

I would have had to apply for anything that I could possibly do, even if it was something that wasn't enjoyable or even something that used any of my skills.

I'm really lucky to have Hans. He's such an amazing man in every way, and I appreciate him giving me the chance to find a rewarding career that truly uses my skills.

I got stuff done around the house during the day, and went down to Mom and Dad's house this evening to have a Taco Night/Easter Celebration/Mom's Birthday Party all in one!

It was fun to see the girls doing the Easter Egg Hunt, and the handmade chips and taco shells by Han's dad were as delicious as promised! Mom got some nice birthday gifts, and it seemed like everyone had a nice time time.
