Dear LJ,
Today has been one of the most rewarding and happy in terms of my career. Today I received a job offer for an amazing company, with out of this world benefits, energetic team members, potential for growth and a pay boost I never imagined.
I wanted to go back into recruiting. Through out this pandemic I have been fascinated in the labor market. I love learning and thinking about how to attract and maintain employees. I want to be part of a company that treats their employees as valuable as they are and build teams that fit together like a puzzle.
Recruiting gives me so much more intellectual engagement than anything else I’ve worked on. It was the first job I fell into after college and it’s what I enjoy the most. Sure I’d love to study sea turtles for a living too but the demand to pay for that just doesn’t exist much or isn't as feasible for me to get into. As I climb the HR ladder I am not forgetting my other passions of animals and the environment but that my dream to see the world in a nature sense is going to be realized. Working remotely opens opportunities to work and travel, to see, do and work. I am excited for the possibilities. I am excited to meet my new team and a fresh start to connect with people. It really was this random chance that I found the job posting on indeed and decided to apply. I had finally had enough of my company’s bullshit ignoring my internal job applications and one week and one day later I have a job offer in hand and am ready to resign. I have loved my company for some time. I missed the office being remote. I missed opportunities to connect with people. I was disciplined unfairly by a substitute manager and I have been neglected at times as my manager is too busy. There was a lack of fun events and the monotonous work really got to me sometimes. But with the good and the bad I’ve enjoyed it. Good bye to another chapter of my career life.
