好吧，老土兄，看你能把我這個“烏龜”培養成“兔子”不？

這兩天跟老土兄又聯係上了，很高興，他還是一如既往的encouraging!

我在找工作上已烏龜爬了2-3年了。現在越來越frustrated.

基本情況：

Chemistry Ph.D., with strong background on analytical instrumentation, material characterization. 寫和說，都可以。 畢業前，兩個on-site interviews：Air-Products and another small bio-tech company in Boston.  They went well and we were at the stage of talking about relation fee, etc.  But my hu*****and got his job in Chicago, so we all moved to this area.  答辯時，肚子裏已有了老二. OPT期間(也就是肚子越來越大時），有過兩個on-site interviews: clinical chemist at Children's Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago; another, ely-Lily, a research related position.  The first one turn me down with over-qualified comment and the second one was cut off by the funding freezing.

然後就是比較有波折的生老二，是個在懷孕6個月就開始進入“隨時要生”狀態的驚險過程。。。生時隻有4磅多，護士定期來家訪，看她是否長得好。。。所以 since Nov 2008 to Nov 2009 the whole year, I did not have time at all to look for job.  During this period of time, my OPT expired, I started to be the "dependent" of my hu*****and.  2010,我們開始找房子，買房子，搬家，這修修，那補補。 2011，孩子們開始完全自己帶（從前，斷斷續續，有老人幫著）。 夏天開始去daycare for the mornings (half day. This is pretty much we can afford).  我又開始烏龜爬了，有個Abraxis on-site interview, analytical scientist, but soon 他們又和另一個公司合並，亂得很，招人的事就先不管了。。。我吊了一陣，也死心了，又開始找。。。找呀找呀找工作，還是沒找到！

唉，看著您都煩吧！ 我這烏龜不知何時才能爬到“工作點”？
