I began a new job on Monday. Am I excited? Sure. Am I scared? Yes. Am I unsure? Who wouldn't be? Then why did I do it?

People like me - people who have done all sorts of things in their life but never followed a traditional career path - move around. We want to be engaged, try new things, and see what impacts we can make. We learn a lot, and we like to apply what we know forward to what's next.

I love recruiting and the work I get to do as a recruiter. I am ready to try something else now - to brave something new and see where this chapter takes me.

No gift is free of risk. Changing jobs comes with risk. But it's also a gift—the chance to get to do something worth something for someone else.

I measure my life by my ability to get do more of what makes me come alive the next day.

I'm ready.
