Day 23 - ready for the weekend

The week ends, and no official offer from the company I have been working with. When you are the one waiting, this can be stressful, but having been on the other side of the fence as the hiring manager, I can tell you sometimes these things just take time. There is more involved than just one person saying "ok, lets do it".

So I am patient, and I continue to work my other options.

I followed up on the previously mentioned lead. I made sure that my contact knew that I was serious about perusing this position. She is checking into it for me. This position would fit me very well and it is at a great firm - I am hopeful I can get a foot in the door here.

I have a pretty full "activity" calendar next week. It is important to be out and about whenever possible. Remember, this is a Marketing exercise, you need to keep yourself exposed as much as possible. I have lunch set or tenative for four days next week - would have been five, but I am taking the kids to the Dr. to prepare for shcool.

I rounded out the day checking off my usual tasks of:

• Check job posting alerts (and apply for any matches)
• Check e-mail
• Catch up on tweets, LinkedIn and Facebook
• Update blog

Have a great weekend everyone!
