Well that's great... but do you have any ideas or suggestions for me? Hmm, that's a good idea I've just spent all my time looking online and through newspapers, thanks! Miss Trish Hi Trish, What are you working on? You don't seem very pleased... Job hunting can be difficult, did you know most Americans change their careers 3-5 times? Well, why don't you try calling old work friends and classmates and see what is new- maybe they can help. No problem! Good luck Mr. Green
