now that i’m a fiesta agent and random strangers read my blog, here is my plea:
someone out there PLEEEEEEEAAAAAASE offer my boyfriend a job in boston. i beg of you. nick and i have been dating for one year and two months and we have never lived closer than 800 miles apart. CUT A GIRL A BREAK.
if you know me then you know i would not date anyone who is short of jaw-droppingly amazing. nick is brilliant, hilarious, creative, tech savvy, agile, and has a killer eye for design. he could also star in his own version of this old house and totally SCHOOL bob villa when it comes to handyman skills. BFA in electronic media/photography? check. currently employed by apple? check. knows multi-syllabic words and uses them? check. a thick head of hair that is always nicely coiffed? check. LEED certification? in progress. and yes, he can start immediately. here’s a little bit about him, straight off of his resume:
Highly innovative marketing and design professional with proven success conceptualizing, developing, and implementing unique brand experiences in marketing/communications, in advertising and in print/collateral executions. A collaborative team player with the ability to articulate the benefits of the creative approaches, internally and to clients.
if you don’t know of anything in boston, please feel free to offer him a job in boulder, portland, san francisco or san diego. i can find a way to get to any of those places. note to any of my coworkers who might be reading this: i’m not going to quit my job. instead, i’m going to put my foot down and insist (with tears) i be given a location-free role. my company always stress that a person must be happy at home in order to do a good job at work, and i am NOT HAPPY WITHOUT NICK. i also kind-of think boston is the pits and would be psyched to leave it behind, but shhhhhhh…
in other news, my sisters and i hope that your easters were all magical and carrotastic.

For my own job search, I created a master spreadsheet with the names of all the best communications firms in San Francisco & Portland. I would be happy to share. I’m not exactly sure what would be a good fit for Nick or if he’s even interested in agency life (coming from corporate), but at the very least, hiring managers would know other hiring managers. Just the way it goes. Let me know.
I’ve also been in touch with the some really good recruiters who place people like Nick. Since he would be moving (potentially), recruiters actually would be a good place to start (although I have not had personal success with them…but it really depends on what job assignments they get). A lot of recruiters have told me they are frustrated because they are getting hundreds of resumes from people who really don’t know what they want to do and are just looking for *something* after being laid off or otherwise proverbially raped by the recession. Enthusiasm and sense of direction can get you through many doors fast with them. And that sounds like Nick.

If you need help convincing your work to let you telecommute, show ‘em this: http://www.pcworld.com/article/164259/telecommute_to_avoid_swine_flu.html?tk=rss_news
You should just come back to the West Coast. Sure, New England has history and charm and interesting accents and seasons and stuff, but we have sunshine and two-buck-chuck and, uh…sunshine? And apparently your boyfriend.
