Opportunity May Be Knocking...

This week has been filled with opportunity and excitement.  And of course with excitement comes stress. I discovered three open job opportunities that are just right up my alley.  I am absolutely ecstatic about two of them. 

I applied for one of those opportunities today.  My stomach is in knots.  I so desperately want this job, and not just for the increased pay either!  I'm enamored with the job responsibilities and all of the amazingly fun things I'll get to do if I get it.  I know this particular job will be both challenging and rewarding.  It's honestly something I can see myself doing forever.  I'm not sure I've ever come across a job that matched my personality, skill set, and education so very well.  I'm not sure another job like this one even exists.  I'm so nervous about it.  I'm all wound up.  I really hope I get an interview. Heck, I really hope I get hired!

I'm in the process of revamping my resume for the second opportunity that had me jumping out of my skin.  It's at a place I've wanted to work since I was a child.  I'd have to move, but I don't really care.  It's located near a town I've wanted to call home for as long as I can remember.  I will be applying for this job tomorrow.  I've got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.

It's been a long time since I've stumbled across jobs that I actually believed could become lifelong careers for me, and these jobs are definitely jobs I can see myself doing happily for a very long time.  It would be so nice to get started at a job I could grow with. 

Putting myself out there and applying for these jobs makes me nervous.  I feel anxious and nauseated.  I am so jittery about it.  But you know what--if you don't put yourself out there then nothing ever happens. I want to make something great happen.  Opportunity might be knocking, but I'll never know if I don't make the effort to answer the door.  So this is me...answering the door and hoping it's opportunity! Here's to good luck and happy thoughts!  Cross your fingers with me folks...
