As you may have surmised, I am still looking for a job. Now I am trying to think of creative alternate careers, since technical writing, training and instructional design seem to be among the things let go of first in big corporations.
I figure that when unemployment runs out I will advertise knitting instruction on craigslist. Might as well. At that point, any income will be good.
My current only active job offer is a bit different, and it's a knitting job. People want me to design and knit up luxury dog sweaters. Apparently they have a market. So, if someday you hear of this place selling very small canine apparel for very large prices, I might be that knitter toiling away in the background. A thing I would only do if the price is right, believe me. I'll let you know if anything comes from this. I'll be getting a sample of the kind of thing they want soon, then I'll know more.
You just never know what will come up, will you?
Knitting progress: close to halfway through the first sleeve on the Inka pullover. The sleeves look nice so far. Off to file more job applications!

I have friends my age with grandchildren in elementary school already, so technically, I could do it. Gosh, I think we've found our business model!
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking of you and wishing you well on the job search!

ReplyDeleteBest of luck on the continued job search!
