Resume

I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! I have officially finished the CAD program at ITT-Tech. I now have an Associates of Science in Computer Drafting and Design to hang on the wall. As I have been shelling out resumes the last few weeks my hopes have been up and down. One week there are a bunch of jobs posted, the next week nothing. I did a bunch of follow up calls today and half the companies have put their hiring on hold. On hold! Not what I want to hear. When is the economy going to get better. Give it a booster shot and lets move on people. Seriously, this girl needs a career. Not, a boring, mundane job that I have. A CAREER! In my desperate attempt to get my foot in the door I am going to post my resume here in hopes that someone will see it and say "O she will be great for this position." And yes I know this isn't the most professional prelude/cover letter to my resume. But maybe someone will see that I've got spunk. I've got determination. I've got a desire to join a company that I can utilize my skills and my creative mind to benefit both the company and myself.
