Exciting

As I transition from my current jobs to the new job I can't help but be excited. It's like I'm taking a step into the future and getting that much closer to my dreams. This step is as smooth as I could have hoped for and I can't wait to just be able to focus on one job and one job only.

I love this time in my life. I am just so happy and excited for it.

The stress is slowly going away and I am all smiles.


Until next time.

The office.

Office. I have an office to myself. It's so little and perfect. I have a desk and drawers and space for files and reports and all the things I will get to create.

I will beautify this office and make it my own little career sanctuary. It will be a place to get work done and get it done well.

I can't believe my career is starting. I'm a like a child with a new toy and I can't wait to use my imagination to turn this toy into a fabulous journey.

I'm about to take this opportunity and show this company who I am and what I can do. I will work hard for what I want just like I have been.

... Oh and I get a business card. No freakin way, right!?


Until next time.

Job Opportunity

Wednesday I met with people who could provide me with the opportunity to be happy and do what I love doing.

I did not try to sell anyone lies or deceit anyone. I was myself - plain and simple. I was conversational in the interview and told them how I could benefit their company.

Today I received the call that the opportunity has been awarded to me. I was successful in selling myself to people who can help change my life. Today I found out I will be working as the communications and marketing specialist for an engineering company in Reno.

I get to stay by my family, I get to stay by the man I Love and care for deeply. Today I am happy and thankful for these opportunities.

Check back later for updates on my new position. I know I'll have a lot to say and a lot to smile about.

Until next time.

Determination

My friends and colleagues keep asking me how my job interviews are going. When I tell them they aren't going well they seem surprised. These people back me up. These people believe in me. These people tell me that I will go places and be someone.

Why don't the employers see that? This question has been on my mind lately and I keep thinking that if only I could show them who I am I could somehow get the same support from them as I get from my colleagues. In the few short minutes I have to sell myself in an interview I have to show them who I am. How is one to do this in a few short minutes? What have I been doing if not trying to show them who I am?

In this world we must know how to sell ourselves and market our skills to the people we want to work for. I should know how to do this better than I have been. Interviewing is a skill in its own and I seem to have lost it.

I will get this skill back. I am determined to sell myself and market my skills in a way that no one can turn me down. Something has got to give. Right?


Until next time.

No No No.

Another day another dream.

Waiting to hear a 'yes' from an employer instead of the ever present 'no' that's been haunting my pursuit of happiness. Some factors included in these decisions to send me back to the job search party - lack of experience, age, and overall distrust of the college spawn. I mean I sort of understand their reasoning (not) because there is no possible way a college graduate could know anything about emerging social trends or how to purposefully and strategically communicate with an audience of which a company is looking to target. Not at all.

On another note, as I spend my time searching for the perfect opportunity to give up 40+ hours of my week to complete task after task for a company, kissing ass and running for coffee just to earn my way to the top of the food chain, I find myself pondering alternative solutions.

I mind travel a lot. Someday that mind travel will be physical travel. I will go to all of the places I see in my mind and I will experience the world. The question at hand is when does this happen? Should I satisfy the craving now or give myself something to look forward to after the long work weeks I will otherwise be part of?

Oh well. If anything is certain, it's that time does go on and hopefully the right choice will make an appearance in my mind before I know it.



Thinking thoughts and dreaming dreams.

Until next time.
