Hired!
I’m happy to report a win, a little long in the making. I accepted a position this week as a principal architect/project developer leader for North Carolina, with a design-build firm based in Indiana. I’ll be focused on K-12 schools and government projects across NC, which is a good match for my project background.
I expect it’s a combination of my age and the world today, but an initial reach out by a senior corporate talent specialist with the company occurred in early September (she spotted me in the great LinkedIn Ocean, so thank you, Shirley and others in FEC, for emphasizing the importance of staying active on this platform). Over a three-month period I have met with at least a dozen company leaders, taken two personality assessment tests, and visited the home office in Indianapolis for a day of interviews, starting with the company founder and CEO at 8:00 AM.
For me, there have been a couple of benefits from this process. First, it’s clear that this company cares very much about hiring strong fits for their culture and mission, and second, it’s given me a good impression of who I’ll be working with and what our expectations for success will be.
I am very much looking forward to this next adventure, armed with a sharper perspective on what drives me and provides balance, gained from my two-year professional “sabbatical” and exposure to meaningful working (from volunteer teaching to live theater ushering). The support, encouragement, and insight from our FEC team has been instrumental to my new understanding, and greatly appreciated.
