For some strange reason, every time I set my mind to look for a new job, my company promotes me. Not a bad problem, but I’m still looking for that new type of change in my life. I have been an Editor at my place for a little over a year. I remember when I took this position I mentally told myself I will give it one year and I will stay till the RTF. Once that is done I can be free. The time is now. I have finished the RTF successfully. I am now in the midterm section of my 5th semester in grad school ( 1 more full semester to go). I remember why I decided to go to grad school. To get out of here. I believe in myself and know how much potential I have and this place just doesn’t tap into that. Not doing your full potential drains you in a sick way. You think you have all this energy to spare since your not being used to your full potential, but you don’t you feel drained probably because you losing desire and drive.
So my action plan. Focus on finding a new job that fits my requirments, but that that the search for a new one doesn’t drain me or leave me discouraged. I will look at only 5 job boards. I will look on M, W, F. foo no more then 1 hour in total. Whatever job that interestes me I will give myself 2 nights to make time to write out my CC and Resume for it. after I hit send I will not dwell, but think positive thoughts.
My requirments that it not a NPO. Pay’s more then what I make, and is a mid size company (no Boutique) The job responsabilities will be exciting and what I went to school for.
