If I am to be honest, there are not many aspects of the job hunt that are fun, and there isn't a good way to me to enjoy the parts that I do enjoy. I like telling people what I am learning while I am poking around- it helps me organize my thoughts, and I like to imagine it might benefit some of my peers. But let's be serious, my angst over graduating and worries over where to go while I sit at home and let Matt make bank are not really problems, in the scale of problems. It is hard not to dissolve into whining when I am talking with my friends or husband, and I don't really want to wear them out.
All of this combined to a pretty hysterical job hunt last week prompted me to start writing about it elsewhere. I think that this will perhaps benefit me by serving as a writing sample that does not include a lot of personal information, and perhaps preserve some of these details for when my peers/ colleagues might want to be reminded of them. I am collecting my resources and experiences on a blog at careerscientist.blogspot.com
You are welcome to check it out, please let me know if you run across typos or you think I am writing things that might be negatively tied to my online presence (I am thinking about that quite a lot these days). If you know anyone else who might be interested, please share it! Or you can ignore it- it is probably boring content for non-job-hunting-biologists, and I will still be writing here. I wanted to share since I am kind of excited to have a positive outlet for my experience.
