Okay then. *cracks knuckles* *rolls up sleeves* Time to ramp it all up.
I'd told a friend the other day that one of the main goals for this past vacation was to purge as much stress and worry from my mind and body so I could move forward with a clear mind. My goal to switch jobs before the Must Come To The Office deadline of 11/4 still stands. My goal to give my two weeks on or before 10/14 still stands. And my goal to apply to numerous jobs EVERY DAY UNTIL THEN still stands.
I've had a number of phone interviews (I have another one tomorrow morning) and I've had a few responses already, so it's all going in the right direction. For the most part they've been going well. My only concern is how so many of them are asking why I'm quitting a bank job I've had for years, followed by asking why I'd want to be an Office Manager or an Admin Assistant instead. I think I've narrowed a decent answer down, essentially saying that a) there's no further movement for me there, and b) I want a change of career that better fits my strengths. The trick is to sell all this without sounding like I'm flailing or fumbling my way through it.
Stressed? Yeah, just a little bit. But I'm committed to this and I'm not going to give up easily.
