Hooray. I have career options!


I am officially unemployed. I just wrapped up my old job and am now fully immersed in that most joyful of undertakings: the job hunt. .

.

(I hate to lay a guilt trip here, but I am still awaiting SLC job leads . . . whenever you guys get a chance . . . surely you haven't forgotten about me)

I have some interviews lined up in the next few weeks, but for every single interview offer I get, I receive at least three very pleasant rejection letters.

Things are looking good. I have been assured that my résumé is "very impressive" and that many prospective employers will be keeping my information "on file." Oh yes my friends, I am as good as employed.

My favorite rejection letter to date was from an insurance company who was seeking an in-house defense attorney. In their rejection response, they indicated that they had just filled the position . . . however . . . (brace yourselves) . . . my qualifications were so Got-dang phenomenal that I should consider becoming an insurance agent with their company.

I am flattered to say the least.

I say a career move from lawyer to insurance agent is at least one notch over on the dirtbag continuum.

Kerry you still make me laugh! I found your blog when I was on maureen's blog. It is crazy how everyone has changed in 11 years. By the way this is Val from Rawlins..(no I do not live there) but I do live in SLC so when you are here if you ever want to go hang out with the kids let me know.

Hey Val! How wonderful to hear from you! I will always remember you as the first kid I knew with the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Mother's Milk" tape. Who's cooler than you? I submit that the answer is "NO ONE!"

Shoot me your email address and I will pepper you with additional and endless drivel.
