Another job opportunity

So in the ongoing saga of trying to find a new full-time job, I had these great interviews, and very rigorous too, at two universities, one here in town and the other 2 hours from here...I haven't heard anything yet. Universities are notoriously slow to hire, and even though I felt really good after my interviews, I'm afraid maybe it wasn't as positive on their side. It's hard to know.

Anyhow, the good news is that the local museum is looking for someone to head up their development department, and not only is this my field, and do I have experience doing this, I have experience at a very well known, international museum that I worked at for many years in Los Angeles, so my resume should look fairly impressive to them. Additionally, I have knowledge of the local philanthropic community.

The only possible drawback is that I would have to make it through the board of trustees at the museum to get this job, and there are a couple people on the museum board who are on the board of the other organization that I worked for and may or may not be aware that I am currently suing them for disability discrimination.

On the other hand, those two board members also know that that organization has just settled two other discrimination complaints out of court, so the fact that it is clearly something happening at that organization would be no surprise to them, AND, they are by far NOT stupid men. They are very business savvy so I would think that they know what's really up and going on at that organization...considering the financial problems that organization has and that none of that was a reflection on myself.

Just keeping my fingers crossed.

That sounds great. Fingers crossed for you!

Best of luck!

Best of luck to you.

Fingers crossed for you!!

I'm starting to get really nervous...I got a call from that first University job that I did an all-day interview at. I didn't get it. It took them a month to make that decision. And I feel like the other University job won't work out either. That leaves this job...and there aren't that many opportunities in my field in this city. It's just not big enough. I really can't afford, either financially or psychologically, to move right now. Hopefully my freelance work will start picking up, and I'll get paid finally, and that will help ease my financial stress...

I don't know what I'm going to do if this goes on much longer without a full time job. I really just can't handle a move right now. But there are plenty of jobs in other cities. I don't know what to do.

I'm sure something will turn up. It is frustrating and scary when you hear you were rejected. Has the other place called or let you know yet? I would wait for them to reply in the meantime....it could still happen. Best of wishes

I really hope your luck changes for the better, seesaw

Best Wishes. I hope you will get one soon... hopefully in the museum...

Hi seesaw .

All my best to you , I will keep you in my thoughts , have faith

Later
