I Am Looking for a Job!

Hello everybody!
I am looking for a job, and since I have this blog as a platform which attracts like-minded people, I will just post this here, hoping it’s not too obnoxious.
It would be wonderful if I could find something in the world of Dallas history – especially in the area of writing and/or researching – but I know those jobs are somewhat limited.
I started this Flashback Dallas blog in Feb. 2014 – I’m 6 months away from my 10th anniversary! Unbelievably, I’ve written more than 1,300 posts. I know that many of you have been reading for several years (thank you!), and I hope you’ve been able to get a feel for my personality through my writing and can tell that I possess many traits a Boy Scout would be proud to have.
If you know of a job opportunity requiring someone who is intelligent, diligent, responsible, courteous, amusing, and detail-oriented – and who can write/edit/proofread/research – please think of me.
If you are looking to hire someone like me – or if you know of someone who is – please let me know! If you would like me to send you a resume, please contact me at FlashbackDallas214@gmail.com.
I had a LinkedIn page years ago, but I never reaped any benefits from it, so I closed it. I’ve started another one, but there’s a lot to navigate, and I’m not sure it’s worth it. But if you want to check out what I’ve managed to get up there, check me out here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paula-bosse-214-dallas/.
(I’ve had mixed results getting that direct link to work for people who don’t have LinkedIn accounts. You may land on a page that looks like you have to enter a username and password — try clicking the “X” in the top corner and see if that works to bypass entering anything. If the link above doesn’t work, try putting “paula bosse” and “linkedin” in Google, and you should be able to see my public page.)
Thank you for reading. Any leads would be welcome.
–Paula

Flashback : Dallas 
Paula, I don’t know of any work position writing/editing about Dallas history, but on the off-chance I hear, I’ll alert you to it. Judging by your back story (that I’ve read in your posts) and the wonderful Flashback Dallas blog, your hiring would be a real “catch” for a Dallas-centric history employer. (That term is one that my mother would use, but I think it’s apropos.) Don’t forget that your research/writing/archiving chops could transfer to other employment opportunities. Best of luck to you.

Money! Dang it! I hope you can get enough funds and can continue to write about what you want from your perspective . There must be someone out there who cares enough about Dallas to underwrite your efforts and let you research and write the way you do. I’ve learned so much about Dallas from you. Dallas is a very interesting town.

I’m what you would probably say 😏 young adult I’ve been a hidden researcher currently 40 now. Please understand I woke up around 4:30 am and Facebook glance with you written ability in my spirit. I do feel it was for a reason heaven sent I should say. I am very passionate about your research to where I feel I must have a hug. Maybe we can have lunch 😏 or chat 🤔 a bit I’d love to pick your brain.
