Why I Deleted My Job Search Alerts
And how I’m building the life I want
This is a story about time and money.
Yes, money can sometimes give us time.
That is, it can free us to pursue opportunities — some of those even bring us joy.
I’ve written before about my own struggle to balance the need for some basic level of money and the conflict with what that does to my available time.
From October of 2021 until October 14th of this year, I had a contract job that was full-time. I also teach 5 college classes (I taught six in the fall of 2021), and I have a client that pays me to give them 80 hours a month of work.
So, two full-time assignments and a part-time gig.
Plus, writing.
It has now been two full weeks since my full-time, contract job ended.
Since this summer, I’ve had a series of job alerts from various job search sites (Indeed, ZipRecruiter) and I get emails every day about jobs I might be interested in.
