OK, talk about signs...I don't get this.
Just this morning, I was telling my DH that my job has gotten kind of boring and unchallenging lately. And I would have thought with our new upgraded system, that I would be more busy or challenged. Hmmm, not yet.
So I ponder, might I consider another job, at another company? How would that look with a new baby? Would I get a job as close, as stress free as this one?
Then this morning, I get an internal e-mail about a job posting here at work for a Buyer. Hmmm, something I might be interested in. However, would it be a drop in pay? Would it be a ton more work? I wouldn't have my totally understanding and wonderful boss any more. Questions I was pondering and was going to go to HR to discuss.
Then, I get an email from a old friend of mine. Old friend, meaning a girl I met at a training session about 5/6-years ago. About the time DH and I just started dating. Her and I would head out for drinks after training and just had a good time. We kept in touch, and about 2-years ago I found that she had come to Christ and was really into church and making a lot of changes in her life. Again, kept in touch on and off. Come to find out, my boss's wife mentors her and they all go to the same church. Weird.
So, I get an email from her just now, asking me to forward an email to my boss (she didn't have his email address correct) with an attachment of her resume for this Buyer position that my company is offering. I guess she will be out of a job at the end of June and she was forwarded this job opening and wished my boss to forward on her resume.
OK...talk about weird. So here I am, contemplating this job opening, when she comes along...out of the blue...and wants to apply for the same job. Now I feel like there is competition. But I know that she obviously could use the job more than me (heck, I have a job and she won't). But I was really considering this job. Do you think they would hire from within before going outside...and then if I were to get it, would I feel bad that she was out of a job and I stole her opportunity?
Wow, what the heck to I do now. Part of me does not want to forward this on until I found out more (that is the greedy side). The better side of me says to forward it on and what happens, is what happens. All things happen for a reason.
This is weird.

Pray about it. Maybe God is opening a door for ya!
Wow. That is erie. I guess the first thing that crossed my mind was maybe this is one of those thing where if you sacrifice for another you may be rewarded above and beyond what you can imagine. Then again you might not. So, I think Maria has it down - pray about it and let God guide you in the direction you're meant to go. :)
Wow, that's a tough situation!! I'm with the other 2..pray about it!! I know it will work out however it's supposed to! Keep us updated!
I say fwd her email and apply for the job. At least that way you know who your competition is. If the job was meant to be yours it will be.
My company almost always tries to hire from within. We call it "growing our own." Is it possible if you get the job that they might consider her for your position? Maybe you were both meant to have new opportunites!!!
Good luck!!!
That is strange. I don't think that you should give up on the opportunity just because she is applying though. You have to know that no matter what position you are applying to, someone without a job will be applying. And I'm sure (I hope anyway) the hiring manager would hire the best person for the job. But I do agree with the previous posters..PRAY! He will lead you in the right direction! Good luck!
Forward hers on but send yours as well if this is something you really want. All you can do is wait and see what happens.
Is it a possibliity that if you get the position that she could be considered for your current position? Then just maybe it can work out best for both of you. :)
Good luck...keep us updated
Forward it on...You don't want something like that on your shoulders since she is out of a job. You'll be rewarded in the end, no matter what happens.
