So I am officially back on the job market. I have posted my resume on dice, monster and hotjobs. I have been getting several calls from recruiters however most want me to relocated for permanent jobs in other states. So far, there has been an offer for MO, NJ, PA, GA (at least 8 offers) and NY. I really dont mind relocating to some of these places, especially ATL. I have lived in ATL and I loved it and I know there are many great opportunities there but we moved to Orando about 6 months ago. We bought a house down here. DH really loves it down here and he is just not willing to move. Part  of it is he just wants roots. I totally agree with him and also for DD's sake, its good to have that stability. On the other hand, I keep thinking what is the cost fo this stability? Ok we stay here, its a good place etc but there aren't many job opportunities in my field. So right now I am only pursung telecommuting opportunities. I think I will sacrifice for the sake and happiness of DH and DD. There are currently 3 jobs I am hoping work out. The first is in CA(yes it is too far but the pay is good and they will pay for all expenses). The second is in Massachusetts but it is a short term engagement for 3 months. The pay is ok but the plus is I can telecommute after first 3 weeks. The third is in NYC ( I love NYC even with its filthy streets)  but I do not have enough details about this opportunity. The MA and NYC jobs would be ideal because that would keep me on the east coast and travel will be within same time zone so no jet lag but I have always wanted to go all the way west and this would be a good opportunity for me to be out west. I hope I can be able to interview today or tomorrow and be back to work by next week.

Ok if you are reading this wish me luck. Also sending me some get a s decent and interesting job in Orlando.

Oh BTW I keep kicking myself in the shins for turning down a job from Oracle back in 2005. I was already on another gig and I felt it would be back karma to ditch that gig for a job at Oracle. Now hingsight being 20/20 I am thinking it wouldnt have been a bad thing. I have send my resume to Oracle consulting and I am hoping for a call back from them. This time if the offer is extended I will gladly accept it. I think with Oracle I can still have the opportunity to travel but also the benefit of long term stable employment.\

Ok end rant.
