Enlightenme! asked:


Within the past month my contract ended at my job and I am currently unemployed.

I held a Quality Control job with prominent internet company for the past 2 years. Previous to this I was an English and Math teacher overseas (in Asia) for 4 years.

In terms of my job search, I been submitting my resume to jobs through online job boards and been corresponding with employment agencies for opportunities. No luck as of yet…..

Adding to my frustration/confusion is that I am getting older (36 yrs. old) and feel I need to find some kind of career path.
Also the jobs I seem to really want I can’t get (this could be psychological).

I am thinking that there could be something wrong with my resume or employment history that negates me from getting interviews. Perhaps someone can critique it and provide some kind of support. I am based in the San Francisco, Bay Area, CA.

I would appreciate your input on this – thanks
I understand parts of this are a little vague but I can clarify and expand with correspondence.

I also wanted to add I have a BA in Marketing and a Teaching certificate (no credential) for English as a Second Language.
