Can You Help Me Find a Job?

If you know me, I know what you’re thinking.

  • Doesn’t he already have a job? Yes.
  • Does he like his job? Again, yes.
  • Does he like the people he works with? For sure.
  • Do they like him? I think so.
  • So why is he asking for my help?

In approximately two months I’ll be moving to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. As to the reason why, let’s just say my last few years suffered from a blue-screen-of-death and I need to CTRL-ALT-DEL my life. (I don’t think it’s coincidental that I also became a Mac convert during this time). And, fortunately, none of that was as a result of my current job. While I leave this church with a sad heart, I leave on good terms.

I currently do not have a job lined up. This is equally exciting and terrifying. This is also the reason for my request. While I plan to do my due diligence in finding a new position, I’m also humbly requesting your help. Ideally, I’m looking for a position working with words – proofing, editing, or writing – but if you know me at all you also know I have experience with graphic design and layout, videography, and some web work.

Feel free, at any time, to send me contacts you may have in the DFW area, or companies you know of that may be a good fit for someone like me. Use the contact tab on the left side of the page to email me. Alternatively, connect with me on LinkedIn or Facebook.

Finally, if this is the first you’ve read about this upcoming change, I apologize for not having told you sooner. Don’t take it personally. If you need to talk some sense in to me, you’re always welcome to buy lunch for me.

    I know you don't have your certification, but you would be an AWESOME english teacher!

    Thanks for your enthusiasm Amy… but I'm not looking to teach either.

    Since you're turning a new leaf and all, maybe you should consider a career in cosmetics, I could get you a job as a cashier =D!

    Seriously though, yay for Dallas!

    …a career in cosmetics… as related to me… is one of the funnier things I've read in quite awhile.

    I really enjoyed it… it gets even better if you try picturing yourself in our Neo-style “costume”.
