Job Hunting (Update)

Around a month ago I posted a blog stating that I was trying to find a job. Here is an update........I found a job. Actually I found three jobs. I started applying for jobs in late June and I was fortunate to land three interviews. Two weeks ago, I was extended an offer on all three of the jobs that I applied for. The crazy thing was that they all contacted me on the same day. I did not expect for all three to extend me an offer. I was quite flattered.

It took me an entire weekend to decide which job to take. It actually was between four jobs. I could have stayed at the current job that I am at as well. It was one of the most nerve racking and emotional weekends that I have been through. I had so many mixed emotions. It forced me to sit down and actually think what is it that I want in my life. Where do I want to be in the next three, five and ten years? I did a lot of soul searching and really set out some clear cut goals for myself.

All three of these jobs are fabulous and offer great benefits and are all equal in pay, so you can see where my dilemma was when trying to select just one. I had managed to narrow it down to two jobs but still had a hard time trying to pick just one. I called on the help of one of my good friends from Seattle to help me. She helped me realize what would be best for me. Thanks Shelia! You are the best.

So I start my new job on September 4, 2007. I am going to be working at California State University Fullerton. I am excited for my new career venture, and am looking forward to achieving the goals that I have set for myself.
