The search continues...

I apply for A LOT of jobs and never get a response. Usually that doesn’t bother me because I know employers are looking for the “perfect” fit, and I wasn’t 100% excited about the job anyway. Recently I applied for an event position at the Yosemite Conservancy - a role that was made for me. Really.
