I Heart My Job

I'm a recruiter, which means I help people find work. Some of the people I help are absolutely delightful, and some are absolutely the dregs of society, arrogant, haughty and all-around icky.

However, I consider myself really lucky. I get to work for myself and I get to work whenever I want (which, truthfully, tends to be a lot.... my husband likes to complain about how much I work). But, when you're self-employed, you "eat what you kill" as they say. So, I work a lot.

But, the coolest part about my job is not the fact that I get to work at home (which is pretty cool), or that I get to work barefoot, in shorts and a tshirt (also quite cool), or that I get to make my own hours (cooler still) but the Most Cool part happens when, like earlier today, I help someone find a really GREAT job and they tell me how much they appreciate all I have done for them, and I realize I have made a very real, and a very positive impact on their life.

I just LOVE that.

I prayed for a LONG time (back when I was a cubicle-dwelling corporate DRONE....) that God would lead me to a job where I could help people, and help make a difference, for the better, in people's lives. And He has led me to a place where I can do that.

AND I get paid.

How cool is that?!
