Today's photo assignment was to take a photo that uses layers as a composition tool. It took some time and effort for me to choose a subject to represent that. It finally dawned on me to use something that has been incredibly close at hand right now, my job hunting file. I'm sure it comes as a surprise to those of you who know me well that I'm a bit Type A, and that this endeavor has just brought out those tendencies in me even more. I have this great plastic accordian file. (Gotta have the plastic because it's getting toted around a lot and the paper ones wear through quickly.) In it I have file folders (plastic, too) with my materials, e.g. sample resumes, job postings, hard copies of letters of recommendation, etc. I also have slid in there my anecdotal notebook where I keep notes as to where I'm sent my materials and with whom I've networked. Yes, I will admit I may be a little overboard in approach, but it keeps me on track and let's me know what I've done. The other piece is that it gives me a sense of control in a situation where I might otherwise feel helpless. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
