Started the day with an item in my LinkedIn inbox
Nate Volenik a recruiter with a saved name in my phone (not many)
A great to start the day - friendly professional next steps conversation
Temporal Service
When my wife wanted and were able to buy a house
Finally, approved - ready to buy - now
We contacted agents, and many of them really wanted to help us out
after the holidays...?
Our realtor showed us fifteen homes over the weeks circling Christmas
She arranged a single day re-tour of our top rated houses
She genuinely helped us make an exciting life changing
We would refer her to anyone looking to buy a home in our area
Time is relative to perception
After being let go, it passes quickly
The time or day does not matter to friends
Reach out whenever the thought to help comes

It's about consistency and the ability to demonstrate potential value
I have years of software development, habits to hone my craft, and ambition
I have done a bit of journalling each day
One interview lined up Monday, only let go Thursday
Talked to several other recruiters
In addition to job hunting, committed to code a few hours each day
My brother lived in Cincinnati, but am bound to Cleveland
I appreciate the offer
I have a few ideas I will be working on
Plus conferences lined up to attend, volunteer, and speak through end of May!
