There's an LDS Employment Center at our church building. Last Thursday before Institute, the lady in charge of it spoke to us explaining what it is, why it's there, etc. I went the next day. I chatted with the lady who had spoken, and we discussed... everything. She even gave me some resume pointers I hadn't thought about.
I got a call from her Sunday morning about a guy in the family ward that we share our building with. He works in a marketing company (Rapp) and there's a new entry position open. They're spread all over the world, including Moscow and Kiev. And apparently they have a high LDS employment rate.
I got in touch with him (Wade Allen) and we chatted for about a half hour. He's a really nice laid back guy. The conversation was a little strange, bc he didn't try to find out if I was right for the job but more if the job was right for me. We talked about my experiences and what I was looking for. Unfortunately it kind of occurred to me how unlike my personality this job actually was. That's a downside.
He let me think it out overnight and it was on my mind almost constantly since we talked. I even ran into a friend after I got off the phone, and she told me I looked as though I had a heavy decision weighing on my mind. Something like that...
So I wrestled with the idea of this job all night and morning. It would be a more permanent role, so I would get the work visa I came here to get in the first place and be here like 2-4 years. 2 months ago I would've said YES! but now that I've had in my mind that I might go home for the holidays, it's taken a lot of reconsidering. Also, this job isn't something that I would necessarily enjoy for the job's sake, but I may enjoy it once I get into it. I think I was just spoiled over the summer getting a job that was a lot of fun.
I just e-mailed him back and told him I was interested...

Cool dude! What all will you be doing? I'm sure it will take some getting used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's all good. Or if you absolutely hate it, you can quit, and come home!
