It's finally summer here in New England! Sweltering humidity, uncomfortable heat, loud cracking T storms....yes, the dog days are summer are here. Suck it.
Last weekend I participated in a New England summer tradition that is, for lack of a better term, the absolute balls. Beach on the coast of Maine, big waves, body surfing, urinating in the ocean, steamers, chowda, burgers, seasonal cocktails, music, campfire and great company. Those/these are the times from which memories are made.
Applied to another job today. And keep in mind, I'm NOT simply applying for jobs for the hell of it. I'm looking for a CAREER; a position that will be both personally and professionally rewarding for years to come. The position today is with Anthem BC/BS. Specialty Sales Manager. "Responsible for acquiring new specialty business through brokers in conjunction with the health account executive..." This obviously sounds like a manager's role, but I have been looking for the broker-sales model, so why not?
The frustrating thing for me right now is that although I applied for a couple jobs in the past 10 days or so (where I know 4-5 people at each company) I have yet to hear back from either about scheduling an interview. It is frustrating because of all the unknowns: do they not want me? will they let me know if they don't want me? Have they just not gotten around to calling yet? Will they call at all? Am I qualified? When will they call? You get the point. But we know this already. Companies hiring typically do not have the same urgency as the actual job seeker themselves. Boo who. Boo mothagrabbin' who I say!
