I spent 6 months applying and interviewing "sexier" jobs, but not hearing back. A recruiter approached me for a contract-to-hire opportunity and it was the first that sounded more promising than a rejection. Started making more than I ever have in the past and I enjoyed working with the team. I learned that the people you work with are far more relevant to the dullness of the position. The work isn't always enlightening, but I look forward to coming in because I learn a lot and have a good time with my team.
