Job hunting and Wife Hunting are incredibly similar.
For the past two months I have been doing everything I can to find a job. The first month was great. I was interviewing all over the city, spent almost 2-3 hours a day on an online job seeking service (LinkedIn) trying to find the right fit and got nothing. It was exciting because I got to meet so many people, but there was no fruit on the trees.
After 6 weeks I got very discouraged and was ready to die unemployed. It was really tough, I was hard on myself and the couch I slept on.
I completely stopped applying for jobs. Books became my new hobby. I was reading, cycling and babysitting. Those three things kept me alive for a couple weeks. I started smiling again! You should have seen it. Many saw it from a bench on the pier where my favorite reading spot was. There were these massive sail boats I would watch slowly rock back and forth. It is so clear in my mind that I can almost picture it beneath this paragraph:
All of the sudden my inbox started filling up with people wanting to meet me. I stopped chasing them and they started chasing me.
In 4 days I got 2 job offers, accepted one of them, found an apartment, and moved in. It was the most odd yet miraculous thing I've ever experienced. I called it, uninentionally hard to get.
I didn't mean to act that way, I just did, and got a job.
There you have it. I stepped on a plane in Salt Lake City on May 1st. On July 1st I will step into the Sprinklr offices as their newest employee.
I can't believe it. My dream is happening!
As far as that and dating, I'm still single, so I'll get back to you.
PS: A detailed job description of where I will work and what I will do is up ahead, so keep your facebook page up and running the next couple of days.
