The Next Gig
01-26-11
Tomorrow will mark one year since I entered into a time of transition in my life. After an interesting nine months of prayer, family time and job searching I accepted a position back into the corporate world.
It was clear from the very first day that I was let go from Messiah that this clearly directed from God… it was just up to several months of prayer understanding. There were moments of frustration, anger, and desperation. The time was spent in joy, the love of Christ and seeking after Him. The time that was spent with my family is priceless, nothing can replace that time.
So what did the job search look like? Well the first item was I was not out to look for a job but I was seeking out what my next career would be. After applying with over 12corporations, grueling interviewins with 3 of them I accepted a position at The Dow Chemical Company as a UNIX Architect Specialist. There is some amazing computing going on at Dow. I am working with an amazing team; small, agile and highly empowered.
For the side venture that Erin and I are pursuing, well that is still in the works and more to come on that as far as location and time of opening.
