Okay, here's my game plan...

...I think if I can figure out a plan, I will be able to finally relax. Here's what I've got planned so far:

1. Contact my last employer. I need to find out what they will say if a potential employer calls them. They said they let me go because I wasn't a good fit, so theoretically they shouldn't have a problem giving me a decent reference. But it would allay some fears if I found out.

2. Contact Pressroom Manager from last job. In addition to my two supervisors at my previous job, I also worked closely with the Pressroom Manager. He not only would most likely provide me with a good reference, he knows tons of people in the business. The only reason I hesitate here is because I got the distinct impression he wanted to ask me out, and I'm not interested in him that way. I'm not sure how to handle that, but maybe I can figure that out.

3. Contact my references. I hate to contact them when I need to use them as references, it seems tacky somehow to contact them only when I need them. But for all my hesitations, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try. And if I'm lucky, I just might restart a potential friendship.

4. Update my resume. I need to work on the wording, decide what I want to say about what I've been doing and what I would like to do. I need these things prepared before I start applying for jobs left and right.

So that's my game plan so far. Maybe with this plan, I won't wake up with an anxiety attack like I did last night. Wish me luck, this sure is hard.
