I finally have a post in the "work" category because I finally have news about the job search.
Now, keep in mind that I'm trying to be a bit more discreet in this highly visible public arena than in previous times, so I'll try to be as specific as I can while still keeping things a bit less google-able.
As you all probably know, I've been waiting to hear from the State Senator who I volunteered for regarding a job on her staff. Well, she called me today to let me know that she has hired a chief of staff who will be handling the rest of her staff hiring and will be in touch with me. So that's exciting. Additionally, she asked if I'd be interested in speaking with a woman running in a special election to fill her old State Rep seat. The primary for the special election is going to be January 10th and as of now she might need a campaign manager. I'm not sure if I'm qualified for the job (I could probably handle it with help), nor am I sure that I'd even want to do it. I'm going to hold off until after Thanksgiving and see what the situation is then before making any decisions.
I'm also applying for a job as a Political Affairs Assistant with a local service union. The job would involve communications and political strategy and would definitely be a good one if the statehouse job doesn't come through so I've been polishing a cover letter this week and hope to get it off tomorrow.
And that's that. I doubt I'll have news on any of these things until after thanksgiving but it's nice to finally feel like there's some forward motion happening.
