Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
This is in response to a Wabmester post on another forum. Since my question is about that 4-letter word "w*rk" I thought I'd move it here.
When returning to work after a period of time off, did you find it difficult to get a job again? Last time I took a few months off I had a really hard time finding a job, and I figured it was at least partly due to the time off work. Then again I was looking for tech work in fall 2000, so the market was bad.
Most of my experience is with one company and I never got good at interviewing and getting a job with a new company.
If I were good at it and employers didn't mind my time off work I would probably do as Wabmester did. I also never got over the loss of summer vacation, and I get really tired of a job after 3 - 5 years.
I didn't realize that weaving in and out of the workforce was even on somebody's radar. Do a lot of people do this? I know I did.
I could never stand to be in one job for more than a few years, and I never got over losing summer vacations after graduating. So, after a few years working somewhere, I'd quit my job, take a summer vacation, and then either start a business, go back to school for another degree, or find another job.
I'm pretty sure I'm done weaving now, but you never know....
