Success at Last!
Today was the day I got my job. After nearly 3 months of searching, it has finally happened. I should be grateful that my job search took only 3 months – I know many people search a lot longer.
I sort of interviewed for the job on Thursday, but funny enough the job I got isn't the one I interviewed for. Actually the job I interviewed for sounded a bit boring, but the salary was attractive. Well, they gave the dull-sounding job to someone else, and called me earlier this evening to offer me a different job, at the same salary, and I start on Wednesday!
It turns out that the real estate company that I interviewed with owns a farm where they raise purebred poultry (the ones that end up at the chicken version of dog shows) as well as llamas and sheep. They need someone to do administrative work at the office, as well as write newsletters and talk to people from around the country and around the world who call with questions about the animals.
So basically I get to think and talk and write about chickens, llamas and sheep, which sounds really fun. And considering my love of wooly and feathered creatures this is a good fit for me. Oh, and did I mention my commute will only be about 10 minutes? I am so excited!
It’s funny how things work out in such unexpected ways sometimes. And so today is a doubly special day – it is Pedro’s birthday and also the day I was offered my new job.
