\"\"<\/a>By Liz Mosher ’10, CES Peer Advisor<\/em><\/p>\n

You know that phrase “don\u2019t limit yourself?” Until recently, I\u2019ve never truly taken that to heart.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t had any phone calls yet and I am a little worried that I\u2019ve exhausted a lot of the feasible employment options\u2014that\u2019s why I\u2019ve decided to think outside the city limits of Seattle.<\/p>\n

Throughout this job search I feel that I have been open to various fields of employment, including public relations, marketing, non-profit work, advertising, administrative support, and community relations. What I didn\u2019t realize is how much I was restricting myself geographically.<\/p>\n

Just when that thought came to mind, I received an e-mail from my former employer\/close family friend from Denver; it\u2019s funny how that happens. She told me about a fabulous position that she thought was right up my alley. Aware of my interests and love for children, she kindly gave me the lead of a position that would allow me to gain professional experience on behalf of an organization dedicated to Children\u2019s health. Even though Denver was not on my radar before, there is no reason why I should rule it out. Besides, aren\u2019t flexibility and adaptability key?<\/p>\n

With graduation less than a month away procrastination is no longer an option.<\/p>\n

I believe I\u2019m leaving what they call the denial phase right now. Bracing myself for extreme angst in the month of graduation, I\u2019m discovering that I\u2019m actually excited for everything that\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n

As the end of the year approaches, my ability to picture what I want to do \u2018tomorrow\u2019 comes more easily. My interest in fields is broadening and so is my consideration for alternative locations. Thus, I\u2019ve decided to embrace this new reality instead of dread it. Rather than falling into freak-out mode, I\u2019m going to keep on hunting\u2026for my job search knows no bounds (sorry, I couldn\u2019t resist).<\/p>\n

This month, I\u2019m going to apply to as many suitable opportunities as I can\u2026opportunities without geographic boundaries. Meanwhile, it\u2019s time I savor my final month here at good ol\u2019 Puget Sound.<\/p>\n
