Do you recall my lack of inspiration to blog? Truth be told, it's due in part to lack of time. I've been so busy lately looking for (dare I say?) a real job. In addition, I've also got husband, three kids and running a little online shop. Since I am a little out of practice, do any of you have tips for job hunting? To my readers in Los Angeles, what would your suggestions be for a part-time gig in a (preferably) creative environment? Please shoot me an email (Jackie AT VanillaSpoons DOT COM) with any detailed info/leads/contacts. Muchas gracias. Warm weekend wishes, and here are your links...knock out a farmhouse table for $50 at Knock-Off Wood via Curbly

Love the driftwood lamp..You know I'm job hunting at the moment too! still no luck with two weeks left to go at my current job, eek! I don't have any tips really except don't leave your hunting until the last minute and never be late to an interview. but that's obvious really :)
i'm on the hiring committee where i work and i look a lot of resumes. my advice, write a GOOD cover letter that address the position you're applying to. personalize it to that position, so many people don't and we never give their applications a second look.
good luck!
I loathe job hunting. What are you looking for? I can give you some ideas but don't have contacts in LA, only NY. s
Definitely use your creative skills and get NOTICED! Vamp up your resume and cover letter with a cleverly design-esque header, and also if there is a favorite spot you frequent, maybe pop in and see if they're hiring. Since you're already a regular and loyal customer, they may love for you to work for them! That's how I got my new part-time gig! ;) Good Luck!
Good luck with the job hunt! I am of no help...haha. I have yet to have a job that pays over minimum wage. = / Darn retail.
Love that farmhouse table!
