Everything's Coming Up Milhouse!

Meanwhile, I'm finally starting to hear back from some of the jobs I applied to! Some of these positions are 'yeah, it'll do for now' and some of them are 'yeah I can see myself kicking it here for a good few years'. Some of them aren't on my Top Tier list, but they're something I could be interested in. [My work ethic is to give 100% regardless, so.]  I have a phone interview for a placement agency later today, so there's that as well.

A reminded me the other day that I should cold-email one of the places I applied to back in October, so I did so last night, and LO! I heard back from their HR this morning saying they do have an opening I might be interested in. Yay! This particular place really impressed me during the interviews, they're a creative/academic institution, it's full-time remote, and they're downtown so definite pluses all around. The pay rate is lower than I was making, but it's like 50 cents less than what the Former Day Job was paying me. I think we could swing it. [I'm kind of leaning towards this position, is what I'm saying.] A has already given me the thumbs up, so yay!

I admit I'm still not used to this beast called 'networking'. I know it's mostly because I'm too self-conscious about the way I come across; I prattle on when I should stop talking, I'm not the most organized speaker unless I prep beforehand, and I still have a habit of mumbling and covering my mouth. I'm working on all of that, though. If I can do it with my writing, I can do it with my job search!
