i really need a new job

scratch that. i need a new career.

i am a smart, well-educated woman. and i have the student loans to prove it. my current job leaves me wanting more. much more. and i'm not talking money. i make decent money. i'm willing to take a pay cut to find a job that stimulates, interests and challenges me. i have none of those things at my current job. which is very sad, considering where i work.

and i have found THE job. scratch that. THE career. its a match made in heaven. the random combination of skill sets and educational requirements for this job seem to be derived right from my resume. its in the alternative energy sector, so it meets my goal to break into the green market. the job is 15 minutes from my house, and as an added bonus, the hubs works just four blocks from this new job, so we could meet up for lunch.

the only problem is (and its a biggie) - they don't seem interested. i've submitted my resume, followed up, sent a letter of intent, references, etc. nada. nothing. zip. zero. i'm really bummed because i've been looking for a job for about a year now, and i kept telling myself the reason that nothing was panning out was because i hadn't found the perfect job yet. now i have. but it feels out of reach.

must. be. patient.
