In January of 2012, I began to wonder about what else there was in the world. I had traveled to Japan, I had seen my friends' apartments, I had seen my friends become professionals, get engaged, and buy cars and homes. By February, I was aching to try something new. After thought and prayer, I put in my three weeks at my job, packed up my belongings, and moved down to Old Lyme, Connecticut to move in with my Aunt. I spent the next few months working in a cafe and searching for jobs on Block Island. Working on The Island was a dream of mine that I knew I could only do that summer - I wanted to settle into a permanent position starting in the fall, and there would be no room for a summer away.
I found a position at a small boutique as a Sales Associate and building an eCommerce website. Fast forward five successful months, and the summer has ended. It is time to find a permanent, professional job.
This blog is documentation of my adventures and explorations in young adulthood, in job searching, and in settling into a new community.
