For most of August and part September, I was really bummed about the lack of progress of my job search. But it has really been looking up in the past two weeks. My interview at Purdue went pretty well on Thursday and the head of the committee said they would have a decision by the end of next week. And then I have the two interviews in Minneapolis in two weeks (I pushed it back for a week). My aunt Emily was in town again and while she was on campus for an event, she met someone from Lilly and passed along her contact information (and I sent an email Friday night). Then today one of the people that Emily sent my resume to emailed (and called) me with some really good information (including a consulting company that might be a good fit for me). I guess I was surprised the Emily knew people in the field of toxicology but I guess I never realized how wide her network of contacts was!

I'll say it before Rachel does...it really helps to have good contacts! Aren't you lucky to have your Aunt Emily keeping you in her mind and her heart!
