I made an important decision today - I'm changing jobs. And I'm scared half out of my mind. 
Here's the deal:
I'm in a job that I relatively like - I've only been here since the end of last June, so it's not like I've had time to get all jaded about things. I haven't even been considering leaving - so why would I do such a thing you might ask. I literally had a managment position come to my doorstep last Wednesday night.
One of my neighbors is a regional supervisor for a company that owns several Sprint stores here in NC. She knocks on my door last week and tells me she just had one of her managers here in Wilmington resign and that she feels I'm the right person to replace him.
This is completely out of the blue! I've never worked in the cellular phone industry & I've not had any formal management experience. I asked her why in the world she thought I'd be the one for the job. She tells me I've got the right attitude & she knows I'm smart enough to pick up the duties - she thinks I'd really exceed.
So I've been turning this over in my head for the last week and I finally decided today that I'm going to give my two week notice to my current employer tomorrow. There's got to be a reason such a random opportunity has fallen in my lap and I'm just going to wing it. I've always wanted a job that I could advance into management with - this isn't quite the same thing, but maybe a complete change in my career is exactly what I need.
Mr. Blu's completely behind me on this and we figure if it doesn't work out, I've still got my insurance license - I can always go back to writing policies.
I'm just scared to death about making such a leap - has anyone else had a similar situation? How'd it turn out for you?
