I recently posted an icon link to the online publishing site, lulu.com. I did publish an eBook based on the Set List blog and initially promoted it here and elsewhere. However, irreparable technical errors made download after purchase next to impossible. So I apologize greatly for any confusion if viewers wanted to look into a link that no longer exists. Note, though, that I am still in the process of publishing my book with more reputable companies and that I will keep viewers updated throughout.
With that said, I have a personal confession to admit.
The most memorable moment in my academic career came on October 5, 2009. On this day, I took my last test for my last class in graduate studies, college, and school overall. I was done! School, homework, exams, lectures...everything was over. I could finally start my life. . .
. . .My life began with enthusiasm. I hit the online pavement every day, looking for all Family Law and Medical Malpractice firms in Chicago that were hiring. I was a paralegal and had knowledge and support to share. . .
. . .I did in fact come into contact with dozens of law firms, who gladly accepted my resume and a few arranged interviews. Time had gone by at this point. Most of my "cold calls" came in December. Interviews were scheduled after the first of the year. . .
. . .It's okay, I kept telling myself. At least I'm being kept on file. Employers think my credentials are impressive. Four employment agencies are backing me. Things will work out. Just be patient. . .
. . .I have been unemployed 8 months. Law firms aren't hiring. Retain isn't hiring. No one is hiring. I have run out of patience.
I need an income now. My job search is trying my emotions. My blogs are getting me nowhere financially. I need monetary support in the most desperate of ways.
