What’cha What’cha What’cha Want?

As most of you know I’m on the hunt for an opportunity, NOT a job. This search has brought me to interview with more than a dozen people and has even brought me here to Austin, where ESPN2 was NOT up and running when my alarm went off at 5am yesterday morning for the Sox game. I’ve spent the past 48 hours talking with various folks about the opportunities in Austin, just as I did all of last week back up in Boston.

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind, mostly because of the tremendous support of all of you. The ability to process everything coming at me has been made a bit easier with my “What Kyle Wants List”. I put this together before I announced making a career move and have edited it during the past few weeks. This list provides me a way to measure the best opportunity whether it be freelancing, start-up, large corporation or agency.

I want an:

  • Opportunity to prove social media works.
  • Opportunity to provide a better future for my family.
  • Opportunity to learn new facets of marketing from a proven professional.
  • Opportunity to have fun while working.
  • Opportunity to experience something new.
  • Opportunity to work with an executive team that is smart, genuine, honest and focused.

What more could you want? What do you want?

Looking back at the post you can see how excited I was, not only for the opportunity, but for to move to a new city. Before that moment I had been in Austin a few times and knew that great Red Sox fans like Laura Beck called it home already, but in all honesty I was scared to death leaving Boston. It all started officially on March 5th when I wrote that I left my current job to devote myself full-time to landing a dream job and on March 26th I listed exactly what I was looking for out of my next opportunity: [...]
