Long time, no hear from

March 15, 2010. The date of my last post on this blog.

A lot has happened since then.

First and foremost, I have found the job of my dreams and perhaps that is why March 15, 2010 was my last post on this blog.

In March, I went back to work selling cars for a dealership in town, something I didn't mind doing and wasn't bad at, but my heart just wasn't in it. A great dealership and a place I obviously would go back to, since I had been there before, but the hours of a car sales guy is grueling. More for the younger generation, although there are plenty of veteran sales guys in the world.

Being focused on selling cars and trying to re-establish my old customers, I ignored this blog.

In April, I applied for a position that I always knew in my heart was made for me. The Executive Director of the Greensburg/Decatur County Chamber of Commerce.

I was privileged to have received an interview and I knew going in that nothing was going to stand in my way of being named to the position. It was almost as if I "willed" myself this job.

There were many qualified candidates that were interviewed and I am happy to say that in June 2010, the board of directors selected me. Thank you God for the wonderful opportunity.

I started the position in July and have been busy ever since then. In fact, too busy to update this blog until now, when I finally decided to check on it again.

Just because I have my dream job doesn't mean I am going to give up writing for this blog. I intend to make some time at least every couple of weeks or even sooner if possible, to update the job search journey. There are many people unemployed in this country right now and I would like to help people find jobs and build the right attitude it takes to get the job of their dreams.

Hey, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Check back as I continue to work on this effort...

Stay Positive.
