re: Nothing is more depressing than a dragged-out job search

I feel like I have the skills but not a body of work, so I've only applied for a couple of basic jobs in the field, one of which has remained open for 6-7 months. For that one specifically, I just feel like - could you not just interview me and see if I could do it? Obviously your current search plan isn't working.

One thing you could do to counter the lack published materials is to document some common procedures and show that as a sample. It would show initiative and give the interviewer something to look at, as you try to get in the field. It could be something simple, like instructions for creating PDF files in Opera.

There are positions open in the Atlanta area, at least according to Linked In.
