A job search is often like being on a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and job seekers need to have someone or some way to move forward and remain accountable for their search. Relying on a friend or loved one for job seeking support can sometimes be problematic and add stress to the relationship. A better strategy is to find someone else and partner with that person to share advice and leads and offer support.
If you have a great job seeking partner let us hear about them, sign in and post, or email jobs@bangordailynews.net and I'll post it for you!. Happy Job Hunting,
Lisa R.

Just a newbie
Hello Lisa!
Although my brother and I have been daily readers of the Bangor Daily for many months now, I had not joined any of the communities you have set up. But, the job search goes very roughly, living 1,000 miles away. Do you have any advice for young people wanting to move to your lovely state, and yet seem blocked on all sides? Our plan is to set up a string of interviews in various cities then go out for a couple of weeks and camp or live in our van { :) } while we interviewed. Seems a bit like a 1930s hobo story, but it is right now the only option opened to us... except for the imagined string of interviews.. :). Yes, we are very poor, have been in Ohio, pobably will be in Maine for quite some time, but we don't really care! We just want work and a better life for ourselves,our Mom, and little brothers. Things are all closed up here unless you want to bury yourself in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt and go into 'mega-farming' or work in a factory all your life and end up with cancer! There must be a better way to live.. and we see it in Maine. Well, I would be eternally thankful for any advice you would care to share......
God bless you, Ann
