I had an interview today for a job based in Calgary. I will likely have a 2nd interview next week with them in Toronto. I also find out next week if I will be offered the position in BC. I have had some good interest in jobs out west, so, it looks like I may be making a big move.
Calgary would be interesting. I am a Flames fan, although, by the time I get there, I don’t think they will be playing any more hockey this season anyway. I like wearing cowboy boots and those would fit in very well out there. Cowboy hats, not really me, but who knows.
I am not counting my chickens before they hatch, but I have a good feeling.
I have had some interest in this end of the world, mostly the GTA. Quite frankly, I would rather live in Calgary than Toronto. I will take whatever is offered to me first though.
I’d be leaving a lot here. Family. Friends.
There are phones, email, Skype. Other ways to keep in touch. I am not worried about it. Perhaps a new start would be a good thing for me – I really think it would.
There have been some “odd” changes at the Region and I am glad that I am no longer there. I wish my ex co-workers the best of luck in the coming months and I hope that it works out for the best.
Anyway, if the west calls, I will go. I suppose that I could pack up and leave in a day or two. Not sure what I would do with a LOT of my stuff, but I can figure that out later. Storage for now I suppose, bring what I need. Although nothing is written in stone, I need to sort of plan things out in my head so that I don’t explode from thought flooding if/when it does happen.
For now, it is the weekend so there won’t be much on the job front. I am sure that I will apply for a few jobs but that will be about it. I am going to try to do an April Fools joke on JB… It’s a Sunday though, so I doubt that it will work. I am going to tell her that I was offered and have accepted the job in BC and I will be leaving this week. She’ll likely clue in pretty quickly, but, who knows. I am sure I will report success/failure here.
Good luck bud. I am not going to say those dull and stupid things like ‘change is a good thing’ and ‘something will come up’. Just stay strong and positive and remember your skills : )
Thanks for the positive thoughts – you are correct in what you wrote, looking for a job is hard work… Good luck to you as well. 🙂
