I've officially applied for more jobs in one day than any one person has the right to. Between Indeed.com, CareerBuilder.com and numerous blind messages from people just trying to build their contacts and sales teams...I can't see straight.
Then I receive this. An actual "valid" message...
Hi Terri. I'm a recruiter in the home building industry. I'm looking for a Strategic Marketing Manager in Dallas. Could you please let me know a good number where I can reach you?
Hmmmmmmm... . Home building industry...ugh. Back to that again? I swore I'd never do it after the bottom fell out of this industry years ago. Never say never, right?
Then, talk about looking over your shoulder, I also applied for an open position with an NBA minor league team in town. Immediately, I had to let AC know. She's the only woman I know who is more knowledgeable more about basketball than most men. Her and her hubs have been Mavs season ticket holders for as long as I can remember (BEFORE they were 'cool' and champions...that's saying something).
Her reply?
Cool!! Would we get to travel????
Hit the "back" button on the application.
Under "additional notes" I write: Just so you know, I will show up to work with a mouse in my pocket. Not to worry, said mouse can hold her own. Thank you.
