In late October 2004 I put my house on the market with the express purpose of moving to San Francisco. I wanted to join my (new) husband on the Left Coast.

At the same time, I started looking for jobs in SF. I applied for tens of positions, and didn't get anything better than a phone interview. I'd resigned myself to quitting my job and moving without a new one...finding one when located in the Bay Area.

We had no bites on our house - not even one offer - until late March 2005.

Coincidentially, I got a call from an executive recruiter the same month about a marketing job in SF. The company that was hiring was willing to pay relocation expenses and found my resume completely out of the blue - and had no idea I wanted to move to San Francisco. They were looking for someone with my qualifications, regardless of current location. I did two in -person interviews, the second of which was the last week of March.

I got the offer on my house the same week I got the job offer - during the first week of April 2005. By the end of April I'd sold our house in Ohio, moved to San Francisco, and started a new job.

Talk about things working out.
