I know I just recently spoke about how my unemployment has been going... And although I didn't touch on it too much in that post, I have been looking for work over the past few weeks. I've been utilizing the internet to find and apply for jobs (who doesn't nowadays?), but my favorite part of the search so far has been the relational, face-to-face aspect of it. The search has provided me with reasons to reconnect with old friends, not only in a professional aspect, but personally as well.
People often ask me what I'm looking for in my next job... My general answer is a senior program/project manager position. But of course it's much more than that. The new role has to have something that sparks my interest(s). Perhaps it's a new area to work in. Or maybe the challenge of creating or growing something new for the business. But I think ultimately, one of the main things that draws me to a job is the relational day to day interactions with people, whether they are customers or colleagues. I love working with people, whether it be collaborating, mentoring, leading or learning with them. So even though I expect this for my future role, what I didn't anticipate was finding it in my search for a new PM job. It has been a pleasant and fulfilling surprise.
