Job Searching

My time with SPAWN is coming to a close. I'm about to hit month 10 of the 11 month internship and August 31st is coming up quickly.

This means that I'm constantly hearing "So what are you doing next?"

The answer: I don't know.

A second year of AmeriCorps at the other site, IFR, is still up in the air. Funding issues (?) caused there to be a question of whether or not the site would exist, and while we were initially told that we'd know the answer to that question in early June, we still don't.

I'm not particularly excited about this mystery. Yesterday I heard a rumor that the start date for a second term would begin in January, so if I decided to apply for it, I've possibly got 4 months of unemployment to look forward to before it begins.

Rather than sit on my hands and wait, I've decided to apply for other jobs in the Bay Area. In doing so (and really throughout this internship), I've been trying evaluate what I'm really good at and what I want to do. I still don't think I necessarily have to decide this for the rest of my life, but at least it should help me shape what part of myself I want to explore and develop next.
