The Word Vomit
I don't know what to do. My head is swimming with thoughts and fears and doubts. The subject of job searching has been a hot topic of discussion recently among my peers and friends. I always knew this job at this institution was not my last. I always knew I'd have to move on. The question, however, is where? Where do I go? Thousands of colleges and universities to learn about, it's overwhelming to narrow it down and take the first step. The bigger, more daunting question is who would want me? I've been at one University my entire existence I have literally no other experience. How do I start the process of convincing someone that they want me to work for them? Do I even want to work for them? Will the accept my cat and my partner as part of the package? Does my tenacity and my quirkiness and passion for the job of Higher Ed mean that much to a group of strangers that they'll take me? What if they don't? What if I'm stuck here? Who will let me spread my wings and take a chance on this damaged, scared girl with a cat and a boyfriend? Who?
