Not Much To Say

A lot of people have asked me to update my blog about my job situation. I haven't because...I don't feel like there's anything to say! My last day at A&E was December 16. I flew to California on December 17 where I spent Christmas. Came back to NY on December 29 (at 5am) and filed for unemployment. I don't have a job at this time. I surf the Internet for hours on end researching companies and applying for jobs. Truth be told, there aren't a lot of jobs to apply for. Job boards that I check frequently have gone from about 200 job postings to only 5. I think I just have to "wait it out."
In the meantime, I'm trying to be optimistic and think of this whole experience as an opportunity. I have a lot of free time right now and once I do find a job I don't know when I'll have this much time on my hands again. So, I'm focusing on pursuing my dream of being in front of the camera. To clarify, I don't want to be a news reporter or anchor, I don't want to host a talk show, I don't want to act. I do want to host a television magazine-- something you might see on the Travel Channel. I'm interested in sports, travel, fashion, real estate, and food. So any show focusing on one or more of those topics would be ideal. I'm trying to determine what the best plan of attack is to pursue this. I have a few possibilities (all unpaid) in the works. I really don't mind if it's unpaid at this point because I would love to just have the experience and exposure.
If anyone knows any opportunities or avenues to explore (both producing and on-camera), let me know!
