I could say getting married, but that worked out.
I suppose it is packing up from Florida, where I’d lived my whole life, and moving the entire family to North Carolina without ever having been there. It was a new job, a new house, a new career, and a complete change of life. I was in my late 30’s so it was not one of those teenage roadtrips.
As it turned out, it set me on the course of a great place to live, out of the Florida heat and tourist trap living, and gave me financial security for the rest of my life.
While the job was still in the Tech industry, it was in an area that I’d never been a part of. In the interview, I got asked what I knew about Networking Hardware, and I (honestly) said that I was not well-versed.
My answer was that since this was a job dealing with the press, I knew what they wanted and my strengths were there. I nailed the interview, and we just up and left in a couple of weeks.
