Finally, a new "permanent" job!

[RandySF]

After two-and-a-half years of unemployment and a month-and-a-half as a temp, I was promoted to a permanent full time job. It's not the job I want or the pay I had, but it's enough to live decently until I get where I want to be. And, most importantly, it's in my field!!It finally took asking someone to help me find an opening. She then referred me to a friend who referred me to her friend in the organization. And already there is an internal opening that pays what I want and is better suited to my experience. Things are looking up for us. Don't give up. If I can find something, so can you.

9. You need to know people and not be shy to ask.

One day some us parents were waiting for our kids to get out of school, and I asked one if she had openings where she worked. She said no but she would keep her eyes open. About a week later, she told me to email someone (a lady she goes to church with). That lady forwarded my resume to the hiring manager and the rest is history.
