I just applied for a few new jobs and I also (drum roll please) have an interview tomorrow morning for a position I’ve been working with a recruiter on.
On a recent flight for my JFH (Job From Hell) I sat next to a very nice lady who just took a job with a non-profit organization. I told her that my dream job is to be a Wish Coordinator for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, but the position’s salary is not enough for what my husband and I need. I “wish” that it didn’t have to be that way, but it is.
This woman was telling me that she’s one of a few people in her non-profit who gets paid a salary and she encouraged me to not give up on the non-profit world. Now here I am interviewing with a non-profit tomorrow and I’ve seen the salary range and it’s comparable to my requirement.
I’ve given up on looking for signs but maybe it’s when you give up looking for them, they find you. Could it really be that simple?
