To dream the impossible dream…
Sunday, January 8th, 2006They told us on the first day of grad school orientation that we should forget about trying to get a job in Madison. But, um, I moved back to Madison from California because I had a crazy dream that this is where I wanted to live for the rest of my life.
Now that dream has come true. That’s right, folks, I have managed, through blood, sweat, tears, and luck, to land myself a freakin’ librarian position at the UW-Madison. Not only that, but it’s permanent, and full-time. The Holy Grail!!!
My new job is at Wendt Library (where I currently work), as a Marketing Coordinator, and liaison to three departments in the College of Engineering. I welcome any and all suggestions from y’all. While I have some marketing background from my former life in non-profit management, I’m trying to get up to speed ASAP.
Thanks for all of your encouragement, and for those of you still on the job hunt, remember: the impossible takes a little longer. I have faith in you.
