Job search update

This week I was offered a job. They meet all of the personal requirements I hoped my new position would offer - next to a large city, prominent sports program, doctoral program, and an opportunity to supervise a grad assistant. And there were other good things such as being only 20 minutes from my good friend Amanda.

So why didn't this blog entry start with "I have a job!"? Because I could not accept the position! They had a firm start date of July 6th. This wouldn't have been a problem if I wasn't enrolled in classes that didn't end until July 14th! Um, yeah I wouldn't have even applied if the start date was publicized but it was never mentioned and most schools are pretty flexible on start dates.

I guess it wasn't meant to be because I was seriously considering accepting a position at this school and now I didn't really have an option. I was pretty bummed out all day today but I have to think positive (right mom?). I do have a few things in the works and am really excited about my upcoming on-campus interview. Keep your fingers crossed!
