1st of Week of April May Have Brought Me Good Luck!

So during the end of March and beginning of April, I was given the opportunity to set my basic office work aside and do something that would be beneficial to me. The owner gave me time to do a career search. She knew she had nothing lined up for me. So, she hoped that by giving me time to search for career opportunities I would have a position established by the time my internship came to an end.

Of course I was excited to shift my task onto my career search. I wanted my career path to involve community relations, meetings/events and/or sustainability. I targeted professionals I already knew, used MPI's website, and did a little research on the internet.

Looking for a career was time-consuming. Many of the positions I came across required at least 2-3 years of experience. Plus, many were out of state. Relocating was my last resort, but if I had to do it then I would. I polished my resume, with the help of professionals, and submitted to a few companies such as CompTIA. The worst part of a job search is waiting.

But that 1st week of April may have paid off. Few days ago on May 1st, I received an e-mail from the Suns organization. Although I was not asked to come in for an interview, I was asked to forward my resume so that I can be directed to the right individual for a career opportunity. I was so excited to hear from my contact, because it took a couple of e-mails and a phone call to get some kind of response. So, I am crossing my fingers and will continue to be persistent until I hear a "no" for an answer.
