Just a little over a week ago I learned that my hours and salary were cut in half at the firm that I currently work at... Yikes. I guess I should be fortunate that I still have some kind of income. But, truth be told, two or three weeks prior to learning this unfortunate information I went out on a whim and applied to a PR and Advertising firm that I have had my eye on for some time. I mean, forever! I drive by it every day and tell myself that I am going to work there. Well, it is amazing how when one doors closes another one opens. The same day that I learned my disappointing news I received an email from the agency I had applied to inviting me in for an interview. Can I just tell you, I was feeling many emotions, but the best of all was excitement for a new opportunity that I have been working so hard for up to this point. Don't get me worng, I give Shonna credit for advancing in thi industry thus far, but I desire bigger things.
I had my first inital interview last Monday (and I don't want to say the firm yet because.. well, what can I say, I am still currently employed at another local firm, and I am trying to not burn my bridges). I thought the interview went very well, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about this firm, its employees, clients, resources; you name it. I waited patiently for a few days to find out if I would be called back in for a second interview. Sure enough, three days later I received another email inviting me back for a second interview with the director, including a writing test. I will be meeting with them tomorrow and I can use all the prayers one can handle; which in infinite.
I am eager to take my next step in life, to grow in the career that I enjoy and have become accustomed to, and more than ever, I am looking forward to change.
Wish me luck everyone. God speed everyone else in their journeys as well!
