I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of these positions, the project management, and the role of admin support. Temp, volunteer, apply for PT work and list that as your present role. Call your old contacts, do informational interviews, network twice removed. This experience spanned from 1997 to 2010.

Other jobs, because they were temp to full time, I didn’t even have the benefits of paid vacation time or paid sick days for almost a year. It always perplexes me when small companies do not hire a temp or have in mind another staff person to fill in for the admin or EA to go on a vacation or call in sick. My boyfriend chose clown.
