I just got a very interesting email that may be the perfect opening to a conversation with H...maybe it's a sign?
I started applying for jobs on the west coast three weeks ago and my first inquiry was into an editor job a friend of mine told me about. I emailed the managing editor asking if I could send my resume and supporting material as attachments and never heard back. So I scratched it from my list, but the editor just emailed me and said my message was misdirected and that he wants me to send my resume. I used to work for the friend who told me about this position is she is also a friend of this editor. I'm trying not to get excited, but there is a chance here, and out of the 6 positions I've applied for so far, this is the one I could really get worked up about.
So anyway...I guess I could tell H that my friend recommended me for this job and the editor now wants me to send my resume and what does H think about all that? That may be making it out to look like I have more of a chance at the position than I do. But on the other hand, it would make him more likely to really consider the idea of me moving.
