Day Thirty-Three: A New Opportunity

I haven’t been writing everyday because I am not traveling, but I must say that everyday is a little adventure in this city, especially when you're unemployed.  I take Lyla to the dog park.  All the dog walkers know each other.  It's a social scene. They know Lyla but I'm a newbie.

I've been exploring a few opportunities while in New York.  I've decided that I won't settle, but when the right one comes along, I will take it.  

Finding a job is a little bit like dating.  You talk to a lot of people. If you like one and he likes you, you meet again and then maybe again.  One difference is the time between the initial meeting and saying "I do", is a lot shorter in the job hunt.  Also, you don’t know what it’s really like to be together until you move in.  I want to take the time to meet a lot of people and explore different opportunities and occupations before I settle on one.  I think I am more likely to fall into something.

Tom invited me to meet with him today about the opportunity with his company.  The meeting went really well and I am very excited about the position.  It would allow me to impact the direction of the company and take on a number of roles.  Tom seems excited about finding a person to fill this role.  I am meeting with Brett, the CFO, on Thursday.
