The Day Ahead
I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I'm still functional, and it's the busiest day of my week, and I'm running low on PTO, so I'm not going to stay home -- but I wish I didn't have to fight this.
I've applied for a job at my company as an editor and desktop publisher in the training group. It would be a good fit for my skills, get me out of the support role, and it's two job grades higher than my current role, which would mean a fairly good raise just to start.
This afternoon I'm meeting with my division's training lead -- the person who still hasn't posted the job which Dave started talking to me about last spring -- about my application. I know she likes me, and she would be a great ally to help highlight my resume if she's willing to do so. Besides, I felt it important to let her know I'm pursuing an opportunity in a related group after she and I have been talking about the one with her. She was very pleased to get my meeting request, and I'm looking forward to finding out what she has to say.
I have the language skill necessary for the editing job (not to mention the credits on my resume), but I don't have the publishing experience. I'm hoping that my ability to learn new tools quickly will count for a lot, but I have no idea what the competition is like.

Hence, scientific equation clearly shows that qos = hired. QED!
