Yes, I’ve finally decided to name my job search – Operation: Get Real seemed like the most appropriate moniker for my life these days. This morning I woke up with a rejuvenation and desire to stop being a bum because I will not find a job from the confines of my comfy bed!

As a result, I now find myself at my local library in a cubicle searching for social media, blogging, editing, promotions, and PR gigs within a 20-or-so mile radius to my home. There are a lot of positions of this nature in my general area so I decided to make a brief list of requirements (for lack of a better word) that I would like to see in my future job… Some attributes include job security, proximity to home, opportunity for growth, work with other people, team environment, and so forth.

Here’s to seeing if my list of expectations helps me as I go forward in my job search.
