Oh! What a feeling.

I can't tell you how many jobs I've applied for.  I'm keeping a list but it's too long and upsetting for me to tally them all up.  Every time I get a lead for a job and I apply I always get a "butterfly in the tummy" feeling of excitement, hope, and optimism.  Clearly I've applied for a kajillion jobs and I've had about a thousand interviews and obviously no one has hired me (yet).  Even after the months of rejection and apprehension I still get all giggly and giddy every time I apply for a job.

I got an email from a friend of mine today.  It was a forward from another person I happen to know (not well, this person is someone I dealt with once at my old job) about an amazing opportunity at an incredible company.  So I jumped and applied.  I got an email back from the person and they were very positive about my cover letter and resume and told me that they think I would be a great fit.  WOW!!!

I'm not to going to start calling people and tell them about the new job I hope I get, but it's still reassuring.  I still have those butterflies in my tummy and it feels great.  So keep your fingers crossed for me.  This would be the opportunity of a lifetime.  But don't ask me what it is (yet anyway) because I do not want to jinx it.
