Last Day

I had my last day at The Journey last week. There are actually some things I'll miss about that place. I really liked my job there-- the accounting was do-able and kept my busy, but I also liked being able to help with some of the Kidz stuff and events and coordinating volunteers. And I'll miss Joy and also Kristin, my new found friend. We only got to work together for about 6 weeks, but I love her and she definitely reminds me most of my friends from home. I think we'll stay in touch, I hope so! I still can't believe I never saw a celebrity while I was working there-- everyone else in the office had- even James saw Felicity and he's only been there since August!! But, it was fun hearing about the different stars coming in and out of the building-- I'll miss the excitement of that. And I'll miss the view of the Hudson River from my desk:


















So, what's next?? You may remember me mentioning a great interview I had at a Media Ad firm, but I felt I was probably underqualified. Well, they liked me so much that they ended up creating a new position for me that they felt I was more qualified for. Sounds great, right? I was hoping so until I heard what the position and pay was. I wasn't really interested in the duties I would have had and I would have been severely underpaid. So, I turned their offer down. I may regret that later-- I guess any job is better than no job at all! But, I do have some other leads. I had an "exploratory" interview at Warner Music. They most likely don't have a position currently open for me now, but it went really well and the HR lady was very interested in me for future reference and even mentioned passing my resume on to other people she knows! Today, I had an interview at the NHL. Don't get too excited about getting free Stars tickets, though! It went great and seems like a good environment and culture. They were worried that I'm OVERqualified for their position. Geez! What's the deal?? I don't think I am and tried to convince them of that as well, so we'll see where that leads. It was the longest interview ever-- over 2.5 hours and I met with 5 people! Crazy!!

The last week and a half have been busy, busy, in my personal life as well, so expect some blog catching-up from me over the next couple of days!!!

Hang in there, Susan. Job-hunting is the pits, but I'm sure you'll find something awesome soon! Praying for you...

That is awesome that you have already had several interviews. I am sure it is hard not knowing what will come next, but you seem to be in really good spirits. I love reading your blog so I look forward to hearing about what has been going on.
