Let the job hunt begin!

I have mailed out my resume (CV) and portfolio all over the city and I am now just starting to get responses back. I applied to 17 different firms of all different sizes and work types. I just figure, throw anything out there and see what I get! Apparently here with 5+ years work experience I am considered a Senior Architect, wow, that sounds so grown up and important! I hope to have a job prospect finalized in the next couple weeks. Not in any real hurry, except that once I do get hired, I will have to wait the 6-8 weeks just like Ben. I know that if nothing works out, Ben's firm will hopefully hire me. I do like the place where Ben works, but we want to spread out our contacts. I went to the Pub with his whole work the Thursday before Good Friday, and was able to meet his team, and he works with some really nice people at a large firm, but I would just rather not work with him at the same place. Our conversations would just be too boring if all we did was talk about work, work at the same firms, and work with the same group of friends.

The weather here has been unseasonably beautiful and has not rained a drop since I arrived. Now for those that don’t know, Dublin weather is a lot like Portland so it is a nice surprise. High 60s with no rain and no clouds. Perfect weather to explore in. Especially when I had to drop off a resume on the other side of town, which was about a 45 minute walk at my pace. I am a woman on a mission, so you could only imagine, dawdling on a rainy day when I am tired could take about 75 minutes or more, ICK!

Well, I should get back to making phone calls and following up on my resume, enough procrastinating for today!
