I realized today that I’m in a dilemma about finding my next job. While I am in no hurry financially to find my next job, I am in a hurry mentally. I want my next employer to be the place I stay for many, many years, so I don’t want to take just any offer for the sake of a paycheck. Still, though, I am motivated to be working right now. I’m not the kind of guy who enjoys being on the sidelines.
One thing I loved about my former employer is that it had a lot of room for me to grow. I could see myself being happy there for many more years. It was (and is) a wonderful place to work. Even today I have to fight the urge to pass along to them the great ideas I’m still dreaming up.
The perfect job for me is out there, I’m sure of it. The question is: do I have the patience to find it?
Here’s a snack to stave off the hunger: Cambrian House, “the home of crowdsourcing”
There’s more where that came from. Crowdsourcing is a hot topic and I think that it will feature prominently in “Web 2.0”. I’m not sure if the model is mature yet, but it won’t be long before “the world” could be the employer that receives your loyalty. Which is, by the way, a very admirable trait.
Kind regards,
Justis
