September_11,_2001

September 11, 2001 The economy is sure to teeter over the brink into recession with the events of September 11, 2001, making my employment search an even greater task. Since my separation from my former employer Flagstaff Steel, Inc. in May, the Executive Administrative Assistant opportunities in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex have been few and far between. According to the temporary agencies in which I worked before the attacks, Kelly Services, First Word, and Pro Staff, the job market had significantly declined this year due to a slowing economy. With America practically coming to a halt this past week, companies have promised to cutback even more. It was approximately 10:30 A.M. Central Standard Time on Tuesday morning September 11, 2001. I was sitting at the dining room table going through my employment leads, as I had routinely been doing during the previous six months, when I reached to turn the TV on. There it was written all over the screen, “TERRORISTS HAD ATTACKED AMERICA”! At first I thought I had tuned into scenes from a movie until I turned the channel and the same view was on every station.
