Shifting my world to the friendly skies


I've craved change for a while now.  I have tried to no avail to get into the airline industry.  And when I tell you that I have tried, I mean I have tried.  I have applied to be everything from an airline store manager to a ticketing agent and everything in between.

Why?  Well, it's simple really.  I crave change.  I've been in the same job title since 2007 and the same career field from 2002 and for what?  The field has consistently shifted and left us further and further away from civilization.  I know.  It's a library.  How bad could it be?  I could tell you stories that you wouldn't believe, but that is neither here nor there.

I have longed for a job with some stability and fabulous benefits.  When I say benefits, I mean flight benefits .  I've got my obligatory substandard health care courtesy of my employer -- for the record, it's expensive as hell -- and my flexible spending account for health stuff.

This opportunity could change a girl's life right here. I'm so mobile and I need to be able to fly like I want to, especially since I travel with a little one in tow, which equals two times the fare.  Last year alone, I cannot tell you how much I spent on travel.  As far as I can see, working for an airline is truly the move for me.

So now, I'm up at bat again.  The company has contacted me back for an interview for the second time.  The first time was for a  highly competitive position and I still remain a candidate on that list I believe.  But this one,  this one feels different.  This one has legs and I think it's going somewhere.  I feel really optimistic, so wish me luck.
