[QUOTE="Star*, post: 324049, member: 4964"] klmno, I wasn't kidding when I said I was proud of you. I know few women who in these ridiculous economic times would strike out on their own to make such a bold move as you. Picking up everything you know wherever you live to move to HI isn't just like moving from town a. to town b. or from state to state. I've moved 44 times in 11 years. I know a lot about moving. I know nothing about moving from mainland to island. I believe while it would be exciting, it would also be quite traumatic, exciting, and maybe while it sounded like a dream come true? I think back to when I have 'struggled' to meet the requirements for dream-jobs I wanted and almost had everything they wanted or had nearly everything they required, but was lacking one minor thing; however had tons of 'other' fantastic things that myself and my family sat around after the interview thinking they would be foolish not to hire ME over anyone else because we knew I was the perfect person for the job. Most jobs like this, will hire the person they feel "meets all their requirements" based on [U]prior problems experienced[/U], [B]not[/B] prior employee performance. That to me [B][I]screams[/I][/B] internal problems with upper management, and thus would ultimately be a problem for the little person (you) somewhere on down the line to be recognized for quality work. I know it's bass-akwards logic, but it's real, true and I know what I'm talking about. This is where my trying to explain things gets fuzzy and people sit and go "What is she talking about?" so I hope I did a better job explaining it this time than just saying "Something better will come along."
