Headhunters




Within 2 hours of posting my resume online I received my first call. By noon the following day I had received 20 calls. Now, still only one week later, I am constantly hearing the ring of my own cell phone.

I have begun keeping a spreadsheet to track each contact, with each company, what jobs they have to offer, the pay, the location....and so on. With all of the jobs out there, it seems that Colorado is apparently all stocked up on OTs. I've heard many reasons including no required licensure, great environment, close to OT program...and so on. No one is optimistic that I will find a job in the area.

It is kind of fun to talk about different locations with these recruiters. So far I've leared where Farmington, NM...Gallipolis, OH...Zanesville, OH...are located as well as considered the coast of Maine, Portland, Tennessee, Nevada, Utah...even now I am on the phone with a recruiter who just called....They may have toll-free numbers, but I still have to keep an eye on my cell phone minutes.

So I am hoping to stay in this area and at the same time find a job that will be a good fit for me personally and in terms of career development.
