Wow! what a last couple of weeks.
Finally off of the job interview trail and very glad about it.
I had a fun time for the most part, and am glad that it gave me the opportunity to do some serious thinking and reflection on where I want to go with my professional life.
Things I learned:
One-I like Eastern Kansas more than I thought. Mainly due to the number of friends I have in this part of the state, but also because my family lives in Missouri and I like being as close to them as possible (without actually living in Missouri).
Two-Royce really likes having health insurance, and I admit I was quite surprised that some places didn’t offer this basic benefit.
Three-It is nice to know I can get a job. I got offered two and wish I could have taken them, but you don’t really know what a job is going to be like until you visit the library board and meet the people.
I think my goal now is still the same, that is to be a library director, but I think my feeling now is that I should be a little more selective of the places I send resumes.
Hopefully, by the end of summer I will have that new job that marks the beginning of the next phase of my library life.
BTW–I wouldn’t mind a cool Regional Library System or State Library Job.
