Congrats, Hil! You give me hope!
On the same topic, after my hopes were dashed last week, I have decided to abandon the whole "graphic artist" facade and am now looking for Office help/Receptionist work. I have applied for three positions at the community college and hope I can get one.
I wouldn't mind doing office work if it is for a worthy cause. So, if I can find one at a school, community service org, or an arts org that would be fine by me. The work would have meaning and it's something I can do without too much new training.
So, I need to practice my typing and teach myself Power Point, etc. Fingers crossed!
quester, check into taking the state civil service exams, too. Many colleges/universities are state agencies and you have to pass various exams before you'll be considered.
Congrats, Hil! Moving-ma and apartment hunting-ma to you!
Congratulations, Hil! Sounds great.
Thanks, Sail, I'll look into that.
Congratulations, Hil!
Everyone else has been plenty wise about the logistics of moving -- though IIRC, a handful of Buffistas have managed to move to new places sight unseen; the trick for all of them was having someone local they trusted completely (usually but not always another Buffista) who could scout for them with a budget, wish list and dealbreaker list in hand.
But all of that is secondary to -- you got an offer you like, in a place you like! That is so completely awesome!
Congratulations, Hil! That's fantastic news.
I moved to SF sight unseen! I was very young.
We bought our current house sight unseen.
