Mid year review

I am pretty much in the same position I was at the beginning of the year, in the job pool. I am looking for work everyday.  I respond to every want ad that seems remotely related to any of my skill sets, just in case some one actually wants to hire someone like me.  I am working with my dad.  I am learning new skills.  I am improving my office skills by reading and practicing them.  I have a short term business plan designed to take me through the end of the year in producing my own pieces.  It is my intent to continue improving my job skills, to get a job, and to produce my own work for my business.  I truly hope and expect to be gainfully employed within 12 months to two years.  Wish me luck!
