Once in awhile, a gift arrives on your doorstep — or in this case, my inbox — and you don’t expect it. I am signed up with several employment web sites to receive emails when new jobs are posted that match my skills and interests. Most times, to be honest, I’ve already applied for the position or in fact, the jobs aren’t really what I’m looking for. Today, however, I received a listing of jobs via email and there was one job that is exactly what I’m looking for that I had not seen before.
I can’t tell you how nice it is to get a job opening sent to you from anywhere — a friend, former co-worker or even an employment web site. Considering how much time I spend searching for a job through various web sites, etc., to have one arrive on my BlackBerry today was such a pleasant surprise.
I realize I’m just applying for the job and I still have to wait and see if they are interested in me, but every once in awhile it’s so nice to receive a “gimme”.
(CONGRATULATIONS PHIL MICKELSON!)
