Jobs

Blech!

I have to look for a job. I've always known that I would need to find another job one day, but I've played "ostrich" about it. I've worked for Dear Husband's company since 1986. Since I am two or more years younger than DH and his partner, I knew they would want to retire before I reached the age to claim Social Security. Well, the time has come to start looking. I need a job.

The biggest problem is that I have no experience looking for a job. I don't know how to match up what I can do with what a company might need (or want) in an employee. Other than want ads, I don't know where to look for jobs that might be suited to me. We always laughed about my working for McDonald's for two years, but I doubt that I would be able to stand for a full shift day after day. I need to find a job where I can sit down.

I'm capable of listing my training and experience. I can find a template on-line to help me create a new resume. But I haven't a clue how to go about matching what I can do with what a company needs. Where do I start?
