Revv, how goes the job search? Find anything yet?
Still looking. So far the only thing positive seems to be in the middle of the Country, 1000 miles away from what I call home. I have completed several applications, delivered resumes, and attended a couple interviews. So far it appears that people are afraid to hire a pastor of 10 years.
Once I get in the door, I can show whoever I work with that I am willing to do whatever I need to do. I have a college degree, management skills, computer skills that include graphics and some web design, public relations skills, sales, etc. You would think that someone would give me a chance.
Between interviews I have been auditioning for bands. I never imagined there to be so many quacks out there. I knew musicians could be strange, flaky, and generally weird, but I have found people that are from another planet.
I was doing a bit of studio work as a session player several months back. In order to focus more on the Church, I stopped. Now I am having trouble getting back in the loop. It seems that there are a lot of people with musical talent and skills looking for work, and most spots have been filled. Hopefully one of the bands I have recorded for will need to do something soon.
I have faith, something will come around. I have a good feeling that I might be able to squeeze in the door of a bike shop in Kansas. I am hoping to find something a bit closer to home for my girls, but I will do what I have to do. If If I have to move across the Country, I will, and I will definitely know my choice(s) by the end of this week. I want to exhaust all of my options within a 5 hour drive from home at the moment.
I am applying to motorcycle shops between NC, SC, GA, AL, and TN. If you know of a good, growing sales / shop let me know. I have sold H-D, Aprilla, and Moto-Guzzi. I know my way around bike sales and motorcycle performance. At the moment, music, internet related work, and bikes seem to be my best option to make, what I need to make, in order to survive.
Thank you again guys. You truly are a blessing.
