I do not normally post about my personal stuff. But I thought maybe you guys could send some good vibes my way.
I’ve worked at my current job a little over 4 years. I love my job and the people I work with (with the exception of a few bad apples, of course). But the commute is my biggest problem. Since our office moved my commute is sometimes 20 to 30 minutes longer (it was already about 45 min). I’ve been “looking” for a job closer to home for over a year now. I have submitted applications with no response. I even had an interview, but it was at a cemetery and I couldn’t handle that each day (it was also only a couple months after my grandmother passed away).
So, last Friday I submitted my resume to an ad on craigslist and then basically forgot about it. Sunday afternoon I receive a call from the owner of a small company. We talk and I go meet him (on a Sunday!!).
The company is in the same industry as my current job and this man knows my boss (or the owner).
This job would be ideal for me. It is just 8 miles from my home (current job is about 35 miles), and I would be able to even work from home at times.
Yesterday he said he’s narrowed the resumes down to three (including me) and would like to meet with me for a second interview. So, I’m going Friday after work.
I know there are many other PTers out there who need your thoughts and prayers MUCH more than I do. But if you could just spare a small thought for me, I believe it will help.
And if you actually read this entire thread I thank you.
