Some one posed this question to me earlier this week and I have to admit I was rather taken aback. I thought it was painfully obvious that I am actively trying to move, but having no luck on the job front. Jobs that I have landed have not paid enough to facilitate the move or have only been a one year position. The positions that look promising end up being the ones that I just barely missed landing.......that's happened twice already this summer!
What will it take for me to move? A solid position that allows me to live without tremendous financial difficulty. A job that is not TOTALLY in the middle of no where (less than 5 hours to a major airport, please). A sense that the position being offered will be beneficial to my personal career goals. I don't think I'm asking for too much; I've just decided that I'm not willing to leap just because other people are worried about the fact that I don't have a full time position. Even though it is stressful, I am surviving on 4 part time jobs at the moment. When the economy bounces back (and God's timing is perfect), I am confident that I will finally land the job that allows me to move into a new chapter of my life. Until that time comes around, I'll just continue to dream, hope, and pray for my escape from my personal Egypt.
