Job hunting

I'm not going to lie, I admit I was taking it easy since I arrived in Hawaii. Getting a job was on my list of "things to do" but it was something I was going to get around to doing after I accomplished my priority of taking my much deserved break. I would say that the break is over now unfortunately and it is time to start looking for a job. I started thinking and realized that basically every job I have had was because of a connection I had. I never had to turn in a resume or get in my car and go from place to place. This inexperience of acquiring a job makes it that much more difficult. I can't even hop in my car and drive around to areas I think might have openings because well... I'm in Hawaii and I don't know the area well.

I've posted my resume on a few websites that employers browse through (hope so at least). I've sent off a few resumes so hopefully I will get a nibble. It's difficult to get a job that pays enough to make sure all my bills are paid every month. It's even harder finding a job that wants people with 2+ years experience working in an office setting. I obviously have no office experience and I'm having a hard time selling myself with my elementary education degree. I say I'm having a hard time, but I just started these past couple of says so maybe I'm being too hard on myself because I haven't heard from an employer yet. Anyways, I hope someone sees my potential and can give me an opportunity at proving that my skills as a teacher can transfer to an office job as well. So keep me in your prayers that I find a good job.
