I know it sound cliched, but keep following the process, its tough sending out resumes and pinging your networks day after day, and these are unusual and stupid times, but you'll get a break.
The organization I'm part-timing with has to rely upon client payments. Having recently looked at their payment terms they're generally quite dismal and are contingent upon milestone events rather than time based (ie monthly invoicing). As a result those working for them suffer too. Rock quarry indeed!! I'll be trying to get them to understand this isn't good business practice.



I'm trying to get a follow-up but many places just want to cut you loose after the PFO note. I like to follow up to learn and also to expand my network. It's what I call the "long game approach".
