Networking and Job Searching

[surgtech1956]

I am still considered worker's comp - partial comp - because I'm not making the salary that I was when I get hurt in this current position. I get paid by my employer plus a comp check(they are suppose to make up the difference - but its only 65%).

The new position is just 'manager' in name only, I heard rumor that the title might be changed because the guy that left the position wasn't supervising anyone and really didn't have any responsibilities relating to budget(this is a hospital). I'm a coordinator now for the office - 6 people.

No I haven't taken any classes - I thought I would do that if I was in the position - this way I would know what classes would be of most benefit - the job is inventory control/purchasing. I really miss doing my 'real' job, I see my doctor next month and was also hoping to go back to my 'real' job of a surgical technologist. (her recommendation was to have a sit-down job to preserve the life of my knee and keep me working as long as possible - I'm 51.

Thanks for responding. I worked as a surgical tech for 12 1/2 years - so I haven't had to do any type of networking, job searching, etc...
