If I did, I'd ask, but a lot of my friends are either going through similar experiences or are just clinging to the same retail jobs they've had for years. As for networking events, I don't really know if there would be any in my area (southern Missouri) or not. So what field/industry is it at least? You've provided minimal context here so I've kept my responses generic. I've been working as a tutor for English, Social Studies, Psychology, and Microsoft Word for a few years, with some freelance writing on the side, but I'm looking to get into something in either a proofreading/copy editing position (which is basically what I do now as an English tutor; most of my job is just reviewing papers and suggesting changes), or a full time writing job. I feel like I have the experience for either, so I've been applying for pretty much anything that I'm remotely qualified for, but evidently my experience doesn't translate over well enough for most employers. I've also written two novels, though I haven't tried to get either one published, so I'm not sure if those would fo me much good on a resume. Anyway, I need to head out soon, so if you address anything else to me and I don't respond, that would be why. I appreciate the advice thus far, even if I'm still honestly feeling pretty pessimistic about everything. --- Winner of the Third Hacked User Contest.
