I Need a New Job

I’ve been struggling at work for the last year. I was hired to do one thing and now my position as changed into something I don’t enjoy and is really not my thing. I’m constantly frustrated, feel unappreciated, and really don’t see how i’m making a contribution. I’ve posted my resume and have an interview lined up. I’m nervous and anxious but very excited about the opportunity.

Wish me luck.

Wow what a great interview today. That one from July fell through. Today was a breath of fresh air. I felt so alive walking out of there. Come on second interview!

11/15 Update:
Second interview. Very short, but powerful. Met with the director and two of his managers (my peers). While waiting the two introduced me around the office (seemed premature). They were very impressed with my resume and I answered all there questions and had a handful of my own. Said I was one of three, they’ll think on it over the weekend, make a decision next week. I’m so excited.

Well it’s come to a close. After hundreds of applications, dozens of phone screens, multiple interviews and a handful of offers, I’ve finally singed an offer that I felt was a good fit for me. Over two years of this and I’m done. What an exhausting ride.

Good Luck.. You are playing it smart, not quitting until you get the dream job.

@whowasthatmaskedman exactly, at this point in my life, I have financial responsibilities that have to be met regardless of how I feel.
