Job opportunity and travel

Now and again, I get e-mail from recruiters for contract positions. Something different happened to me on Friday. A recruiter wants to hire me for a full-time position. She found my resume online.

The job doesn't exactly cut my commute time down. It's actually a few blocks away from my current place of employment. However, the job sounds like a decent fit for me. I would get to both write and train others. I am hoping that my working isn't as insane as it is these days.

I took Monday off as a vacation day. I invited the talent scout to call me. We had a good fifteen-minute conversation. She wanted a copy of my resume. Of course, I hadn't updated mine in a year, so I went ahead and did just that today. I have officially applied for the position.

We'll see what happens. I can only hope for an interview.

My guy will be travelling in December for a week. I think that he welcomes a bit of travel. He has been grounded for nearly a couple of months, which has been helpful. We get to see each other more and it allows him to teach his Saturday course without juggling his travel schedule.

  1. If the new job is what you want, then I hope it works out for you, CB. Would the new company mean less lunches with your guy when he's in town?

    1. Thanks, Cat! I think that we'd still meet for lunch if I get this job. It's not that far away, so it would work out.

  3. good luck with the application. either way, I hope it works out for you so that you'll be happy. and BIKSS will be travelling in Dec too so i'm a bit grouchy about that. it just means less time to spend together. grrrr.

    I do hope you still manage to see each other regularly despite the travel.

    1. Thanks, Fondles. Bummer about BIKSS being away in December. You'll get through it, even if it seems like a long time to be apart.

      So far, we have been taking advantage of his lack of travel. I can't complain!
