I pride myself on rising from the ashes of homelessness and working my way up through the trenches to get to the admirable position that I enjoy now. Perhaps foolishly though, I have contented myself in my current position in life. After all, I make real good money, people respect me and value my opinion, and I can go anywhere in my chosen field from guy who sweeps the floor to guy who has the keys and the alarm code. I pretty much have everything I've ever wanted and I'm not greedy. Who couldn't become content?
My chosen field is food, warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, logistics, and transportation. Like I said, I can go anywhere. This email though, makes me think that "anywhere" is much much bigger than I thought.
I have had a resume on Career Builder since a week after there was a Career Builder. I have gotten quite a few unsolicited responses from there and while some are legit, most are Russians trying to get me to handle their company's "international financial business".
Just a few minutes ago, I got one that is making me ponder my comparably humble service offerings to the world as I would have never dreamed of applying for this position, but perhaps I need to rethink my potential. The following is a slightly trimmed-down direct copy and paste (I swear this is true):
I hope all is well. My name is **** ******** and I'm a recruiter with *********. We came across your resume in our database and feel that you could be qualified for one of our positions with a Global Pharmaceutical Company. The job description is posted below for your review.
Job Title: Sr. Pharmacovigilance Safety Scientist
The more I think about it, the more I think I want to be a Sr. (SENIOR! That's not even the Spanish one, bitches!) Pharmacovigilance (spellcheck doesn't even know that word!) Safety Scientist. Shit, if Sepracor can put out a drug and claim that "science does not know exactly how Lunesta works", then I might just be fucking qualified because I would actually try to figure that shit out!
Imagine...
me...
Mr. Scientist.
Man, I like the sound of that.
