Things I said I'd Never Do

I just did what I said I would never do again - I created a resume.

This morning I was looking for something online and literally stumbled upon a job posting that is "exactly" up my alley based on my experience, education, and interests. What's more, it's for a large company located in my hometown that is renowned for treating their employees very well.

So I hemmed and hawed for a little bit because I honestly wasn't looking for a job but eventually pulled together a resume and submitted it to see what happens. I'm sure it's just going to go into the recruiting black hole (though I have also reached out to a few alums from my school who work for the company to see if I can get an inside track) but I've always been a huge believer in keeping all options open and you can't even have the option open if you don't try. So the resume is out there and I'm ofcourse all a-twitter of nervous energy wondering "what if" or "what if that?"

Ironically, I've taken two new orders while pulling the resume together and even if it all comes to pass I'm not sure I'd be ready to give this up yet. Obviously I would need a ton more information about the opportunity before I could move forward so for now I'm just going to go back to running my company the very best that I can.
