Employment Situation
February 01, 2005 @ 04:59 PMI keep forgetting to apply for a position that I would like to at least try for. The thought of attempting to get it is exciting, as it’s the first real position I’ll have applied for in Portland. I’ve applied to a couple places here in Seattle, and at least one of them seemed to be a great opportunity. But I had to tell them I couldn’t pursue the opportunity any further due to a conflict of interest. Basically, they were going to start developing cellphone games for Playboy, and I’m a worship leader at a church. I realize that most guys would probably kill to get paid $90,000/yr (which is what this job was going for, would have been a definite pay increase) to work on playboy products… and the technology itself sounded like a blast to work on, I – of course – couldn’t be in that position.
Anyway, back to the new position. We’ll call this place Company F. They are right in the heart of the Pearl District in Portland. Basically, EXACTLY where I want to work/live/exist. Of course, I don’t live in Portland. So assuming I’m even in the running for the position, I would definitely require some patience and/or understanding while I figure out how to move my life from here to there. I’ve never moved out of this area before.
But of course, I won’t even be remotely considered for the position unless I apply for the job! I’m hoping that blogging this tonight will prod me to write my cover letter and send in my resume tomorrow.
Anyway, I’m so tired, so I’m done with this post for tonight. :)
