Want Ads

I love the term Want Ads.  How awesome would it be to send out all your wants and just have people apply to grant them... I want a pair of Christian Loubotins...I want to lose 10 pounds...I want to forgive ... I want to less stressed... and BOOM you get what you want. Maybe in a parallel universe.

Although I like the term, I have not reviewed or responded to a job posting in about 10 years.  My career has moved via found opportunities through colleagues or friends.  Over the past few months, I have had friends suggest several positions.  One I really wanted but a huge miscommunication about money dictated a pass on my side.  The other opportunity showed great potential until I met the 5th SVP and realized that their bureaucracy and my impatience would never work.  Six weeks later they came to the same conclusion.

So here I sit, ready to work again...or am I?  Looking at my summer schedule I will be employed as a cab driver for a teenager.  Crew camp 9 -12, algebra refresher 2 - 3:30, weight training 9 -11, football clinic 6-8, lacrosse games 2 full weekends out of town. With this in mind, what would my want ad look like?

Experienced executive wants full time position in progressive company.  Desires great responsibilities and challenging environment.  Will work when convenient for her.  Will consider all offers over six figures.  Will not suffer fools.  Will start immediately, unless it is a day in which she is already busy.


Any ideas on where I could find such a position?  Guessing the traditional Want Ads may not suit my purposes here.
