Keep in mind as you move to another type of work that the job still has to be bigger than your previous one.

How excellent this all is. I had an interview for my current dream job this week and am waiting to hear if I get a second interview.

My current dream-bucket job is an intermediate to senior management position–Volunteer Coordinator–with a Christian organization that serves the homeless or, as they’re called where I want to work–”family members” (those who are without friends, God places in families…Psalm 68.6).

I was given a pre-interview questionairre to fill out, and one of the items was “why are you job searching now?” I was able to use the concepts introduced in your posts–fit, capacity, flow etc–in a very effective way. And not merely effective but utterly truthful.

It just doesn’t get better than that. I hope I get the job. I’m very interested in homeless people.

Mary
