After my wife and children had left to the airport, moments before I lugged my own suitcases and boxes to a small summer sub-let across the street, I sat in my near-empty apartment trying to catch my breath. I wanted to comprehend the changes going on in my life—losing my job, being unemployed for six months, wearing a sign board on Park Avenue, saying good bye to my wife and children, leaving the apartment where I had lived for the past five years—and the publicity!
A week before, I thought I had been ready for anything. I had gone out to Park Avenue wearing a sign board to hand out resumes. At least I had been willing to experiment and try something different. Yet, I was still hoping to find a job in New York City—or Omaha.
With all the publicity, my network had been extended nationally—even internationally—and I suddenly found myself in touch with people from all over the country and all around the world involved in various fields of work. I knew I would have to consider each and every opportunity, no matter where or what it was.
As I glanced out over the East River from my apartment for the very last time, there was only one thing I knew for sure—even if I had been open to change before, I would have to be even more so going forward.
Indeed, I had transitioned several times during my professional life. I had worked as an options specialist on the floor of the American Stock Exchange, in marketing and business development for an international satellite communications company, as a commercial banker for a large European bank and as an investment banker on Park Avenue—and it looked as though it was time to transition again. I knew I would have to consider employment in other fields of work and other locations other than New York City and Omaha. In my situation, I could not afford too be too fussy.
