Moving

I spent the morning looking at different apartments and communities across the country, and I found myself looking at a map of St. Petersburg, Florida. I daydreamed about what it might be like to live there, right next to the beach. 

Just for fun, I looked up the colleges in the area. Twelve colleges are currently listed in Google. 

I don’t think that I’ve ever told anyone this before. On my profile, I’ve privately listed to the LinkedIn recruiters that I’m open to work for one specific job title only. And that’s career advisor positions within community colleges and universities. 

I don’t know how to explain why I chose to do this. I haven’t started an active search or messaged my network for any opportunities. But there’s a part of me that feels that I would be so thrilled and so deeply moved to be able to do work like this. 

It is the privilege of my life to be able to serve as a resume writer and career coach. I’m convinced that I found what I was called to do on this earth.

And yet, somehow, the idea that I could bring this to a college community takes the work to a completely different level.
