I have failed to write about S.’ recent successes at finding employment, because 1. I have failed at writing about anything, and 2. I am afraid to jinx it, because it is just too awesome.
At his particular educational institution, they have a pretty neat system with internships during the summer that are pretty much guaranteed job offers upon graduation. Internships this year have been difficult to acquire, with only 10% of his class entertaining offers a week ago (the economic climate is particularly effecting his industry), but S. has actually done quite well, with three offers on his plate at this moment. Two are quite prestigious firms, offering amazing potential for growth outside of his current specialization, and the third is more industry-centric, offering him growth upon his current trajectory. He is leaning toward one of the first two, and both are flying him out to location to woo him. Both this weekend and next, he flies out, stays in lavish hotels, gets pampered in every way possible, and these companies try hook him. It’s a pretty sweet deal. A lot of pressure for him, but sweet nonetheless.
My favorite thing about all these offers (because really, this blog is all about me :p), is that they all are in fantastic locations. The two larger firms are both in the same Southeastern city in which I attended graduate school, one with an option to live in a city even further South, and the industry gig is in Arizona. I would be thrilled to live in any of the above places. No winter to whine about – yipee!
Okay, that’s it, I just wanted a quick second to brag about how wonderful my man is, and how excited I am about future living locations :]
