I'm done....for now
Posted by  Linda_H/FL of FL on 8/13/11 12:11pm Msg #393517
I accepted and started a full-time position at a sole-practitioner law firm on Thursday. One attorney, one sec'y/legal assistant (me) - last thing I wanted to do was get a J-O-B, and full-time no less in my close-to retirement years, but my husband and I have these silly habits - we like to eat on a regular basis and sleep peacefully at night knowing our bills are paid.

Phone has been silent for months now and this business is just too fickle for me. I've had feelers out and have interviewed at several jobs, including the CNA positions but nothing came of it - this one hit out of the blue - faxed resume at 9am, phone call at 9:30am, face-to-face at 2pm, hired! - start the next day!!

I say done for now because I'm keeping my commission and profiles (revised, naturally) just in case it doesn't work out. If the last two days are any indication, I think we're gonna be okay. I really enjoyed working this business, but the unpredictability, especially in my area, is just too much. The increase in business that everyone else is posting about? I'm not seeing any of it. I've not done one closing in August yet and only did 2 or 3 in all of July. Got two calls in the last couple days (of course!!) and those were the first for the month -

I'll still follow the forums as I enjoy them - just won't be around as much as I was - so keep things posted so I can keep up with the G, the B and the U!

Good luck to you all - may you all prosper...Smile
