Progress

Yes, this job hunt just may end one of these days. Surprising. Maybe not to anyone else, but to me this has been a surprising development. All this volunteering, networking, resume building, cover letter writing, emailing, waiting, planning, hoping, and finally dealing with rejection has felt quite endless.

Don’t get me wrong. I DON’T HAVE A JOB YET, but things are looking up.

I have an unpaid internship with MSH lined up for the summer or until I find a job that pays (as the MSH staff encouraged me to do). I’m lined up to audition this coming week for a yoga teaching position at Fitness First (getting paid for teaching yoga would be a plus). Plans for my Yoga for Runners Class are underway—I just need to settle on a time and a park so I can start advertising. And sitting on my desk is a stack of business cards newly acquired from the Annual Society for International Development Conference—and some of the people actually handed them to me with enthusiasm (so following up with them just might pay off).

I’m still working out the details of exactly what I want to be doing, but I think I have a better idea than when I started this whole job hunting process in mid February. And if you’re a potential employer who has happened on my blog after reading my resume, than the job you have available is exactly what I want to be doing.

So, all in all I’m making progress.
