Employment

Possible employment opportunity has arisen. I interviewed with a minor league baseball team two days ago. Today I got a phone call saying after the holidays they'd like me to come meet the staff. They're still waiting on a couple of references to check out but as of now- probably a good fit.
I'm excited, but this muted "I've been only partially employed for so long! Will I remember how to function in an office!?" Kind of excited.
I shouldn't be nervous, the people there were GREAT, the venue is great and the pay... well, the people are great!
I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of people here in town that are willing to welcome me into their web of professional contacts. Two of my fiance's new coworkers circulated my resume around town and it has landed in the hands of some very prominent people. Or at least, by my standards!
I was at an event last night hosted by a conservation group here in town and met the most amazing people. One woman who I met (who had an indescribably charismatic presence) I hope to meet again. In business or otherwise. She also allowed me to forward her my resume for circulating purposes. She gave me the advice- for every good contact you make, ask for two points of contact. Then follow up. If you make a good contact with them, ask for two points of contact and so on.
Its so simple and I believe I've heard similar things before, but not in the realm of employment seeking. I do believe if the job with the baseball team falls through, I may set out that way. And if the job with the team takes off- I may take that approach to the group sales aspect of it.
I'm quietly optimistic about the job. Keep your fingers crossed for me! It would be a great opportunity!

I'll let you know how it goes.
