Yay for Jeff!

                 So Jeff had applied for an upper position job about 7 months ago, even though it wasn't a job he was really interested in.  The interviewer asked him all of the questions and then told Jeff as he left, "you know what, I think ______ position is more in your area of expertise. Although, you qualify for this position. I think you would do exceptionally well in ________ area."  So Jeff doesn't get the job.  Well, when that position came open just a month ago the interviewer told Jeff he should apply for the job.  So Jeff did, and got an interview to schedule it.  Well, close to the interview day the interviewer told Jeff, "You know what, forget the interview.... I already know you qualify for the job.  You get the new position."  Jeff was ecstatic two weeks ago when he was told this, so we went out for ice cream and pizza to celebrate.
                The interesting part is, Jeff wasn't going to even apply to the first position, but then we discussed it and he felt he should apply.  It goes to show that, even if you don't think you're interested, or you'll qualify, why not?  It never hurts.
