… Moves On

July 22nd, 2004Introspection / News

This whole moving thing is kind of starting to freak me out. Undoubtedly the biggest reason is leaving my job — for a couple reasons. For one thing, I’ve had this job in one form or another for almost six years. That’s about a fourth of my life… quite the long time. I’m also a bit worried that I’ll have trouble finding another job that I enjoy as much as my current one.

The latter reason is actually the stronger fear I have. My job has been this close ::holds up thumb and forefinger:: to perfect. I love the people I work with and the atmosphere of the workplace. It’s been almost the best first job I could ever imagine, if it weren’t for the reason that I’m leaving (more on that after next week). I think my expectations for a job are now set fairly high, and I’m concerned that anything else won’t measure up.

In other news, I’ve started working on my cover letter to go with my resumé as I apply to various colleges and such. The resumé will also go on Monster. Having never applied for a job before (since I my current one is a continuation of my workstudy and summer job) this is all a wee bit stressful.

Though I’m sure it’ll all work out, I’m still stepping from everything I know into a pile of uncertainties. In fact, it feels a bit like this. But now I need to get back to work.

    Change presents opportunity for growth in ways you don't plan. Prior to my leap of faith to San Diego, I had never applied for a job. And the job I landed was not perfect, but I had fun, learned new things, and got promoted to management. You are an incredibly smart and attractive person. You will not have a problem finding a great job. Just be open to something you might not have initially considered. Besides, it's just a job. You can always find another to try.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm in a similar position - except I don't even have my resume written yet. :-)

    I'm sure you'll get a great job. Also, remember to perhaps look in other places - everyone needs tech support! Any large company probably has an IT department…
