ladynox25Okay, the deal is:
1) You leave me a note saying that you want to be interviewed.
2) I reply with 5 questions.
3) You post those questions and their answers in your LJ along with this text.
4) You are welcome to ask me 5 questions as well, if you choose.
fromjsbowden:
1. Is your current job using your degree?
No, not really.
2. If not, since you're in Texas, why aren't using that MS in Chem. to work for an oil company. Evil pays well, trust me, I work for a defense contractor.
Nobody in my area is hiring, apparantly.
3. What are you long term employment goals (you might notice a theme, but I know last time you commented on it, you weren't happy in your current job)?
If I had my 'druthers, I'd be working in some sort of biochemistry or chemistry research lab. Realistically, short term, I'm just trying to get back on my feet. I just moved to be closer to where I work and hopefully that will give me more time to actively look for a new job, but first I need to recoup some of the money I spent in the move. Give me another month or so and I will be actively returning to the job search.
Oh, and my resume on Monster is current.
4. Do you have any intention of reading Knife of Dreams when Slacker finally finishes churning it out?
Reading, yes. Buying, no.
5. Do you want to stay in Texas? If not, where would you like to live ideally?
Texas is okay, but I would rather not live in NE Texas simply because of the lack of jobs in what I want to do. Where I would like to live is somewhere where I can find a job doing what I want to do. If I were fantastically rich, I'd travel, so you see there isn't really one place that I'd like to be. I'd just like to be somewhere else than I am.
