Good morning, kids. Thank you for the degree-related kudos, all ye who offered them. It’s been a lot of very hard work and I’m glad to be at the finish line.
So… My dream job got posted yesterday. On the one hand it’s a senior position at a major library system so it seems extremely unlikely that they’d hire a band-new grad. On the other hand, I am qualified and I have substantially more than the asked-for actual library experience and I’m a specialist in exactly what the job’s all about - particularly weeding, which most librarians seem to have a terror of and which I rather enjoy. On the other other hand, if I leave my current job (that I really just started) and current apartment before December, I’ll be on the hook to repay my relocation bonus and a breaking-the-lease fee. And it’ll also just feel kind of shitty to bail on the good folks here without having finished what I came here to do.
Lot of things to consider. Still, I’m gonna apply. Not like I have anything to lose, and it is my dream job.
