i knew that when i moved back to the states, that my biggest challenge would be would be finding a job. is there such thing as a perfect job out there? i have been doing human resources related work and was looking for a great opportunity to expand on my experiences. i knew that coming back from being in japan for three years, it would not be particularly easy to find the next job. i met with recruiters, scoured the internet and used my networks. i may not have given it my all 100% of the time, but honestly, i was getting restless. to the point that i didn't think it was going to happen for me. i realized that you can't always have it all- i had to prioritize the most important things to me. i had hard limits- things that i would not budge on, and then i had things that i would be willing to compromise on. i expanded my search, got a little down on myself, i went on several interviews, entertained ideas that i wouldn't normally entertain, and ultimately, i was beginning to become desperate.
...but i found it. i have officially accepted my offer this afternoon for an exciting opportunity- one that is in line with exactly what i want to be doing. i start in less than three weeks. don't give up. great things come to those who deserve it, and work for it.
it has been one heck of a ride, but boy, does it feel good to be employed again!
