island, intro, inhale

just interviewed for a vendor manager position (NYC) on Amazon's new beauty team, which sounds ideal....except the entire team is based in Seattle.


barrage of unexpected emails/returns that bring good cheer:
2 favorite e/Bay contacts back in touch - have learned a tremendous amt of how to provide valuable career help from them.
pre-Kellogg banking colleague, doing IB in SF post-Tuck, now pursuing marketing opportunities. how worlds collide
pre-Kellogg friend, c.s. phD searching for aerospace opportunities - surprisingly strong Kellogg (pre b-school) representation - Northrop, Lockheed, Boeing
Kellogg09 forwarded a trove of PepsiCo/Chi openings

yoga this morning after months-long lapse, which provoked an inexplicable epiphany:
Job searching like exfoliation,
painful and raw,
leaves newer, cleaner skin -
in the right time,
done the right way,
reveals what lies within.

while looking for tomorrow, never forget today.
