here’s a lesson for you — no matter how bad it seems things are, they always improve. so whenever you feel you’re at a low point, smile, because the upswing is just around the corner.
heh. this is something i always try to remind myself about, but i admit, i’m not as good at remembering it as i need to be to have a truly peaceful life.
i’ve been a bit down in the mouth because it seems i got here just in time to almost have several amazing jobs, but too late to manage to get any of them. i’ve watched five jobs with companies including microsoft, expedia, amazon, and a couple of others poof right from under me. bad timing. i got submitted, but they already made offers or they had ‘enough resumes’.
well. that just means something better is bound to be coming. or so i’ve been telling myself through the usual frustrated crying sessions.
it materialized today.
i’m interviewing tomorrow with a boutique recruiting shop for an exclusive listing they have in kirkland, which is a mere 15 minutes from home. that’s not the best part.
the best part is, it is a cookie cutter fit for me. i mean, mindbogglingly so. a process analyst position with light project management experience and strong technical writing and interviewing skills.
hah. HAH!
the recruiter was actually getting excited. apparently, she’s had a hard time finding someone like me.
we meet tomorrow at 10am. interview to follow submission, likely monday or tuesday next week.
the rate is… damn good. 🙂
no matter how often i tell myself things always get better, eventually, i never quite believe it. human behavior. ugh. heh. but here it is, the cookie cutter kamma that always shows up ‘just in time’ and you’d think by now i’d be used to it and expect it. but i never do.
oh me of little faith. heh.
i have a GOOD feeling about this. and it’s been a while since i could say that.
i can’t wait to wow them with my portfolio. this is my cup of tea; the thing i wish i could do the rest of my life. you can’t buy this kind of enthusiasm. believe me, i know. and i fully intend and expect to bowl them over.
you just wait and see. 🙂
