I got a job!!
Everyone should gather their friends and head to their favorite bar to have a drink in celebration of my employment. Today I was offered a job at an ad agency in Petersburg. I am so excited about this job that I doubt I will be able to sleep tonight!
Last week I found a job posting on CraigsList for a writer. Though I lack experience, I applied. For some reason, I got an interview. For me, the interview was great. I got to meet with the owner of the company and we had a great conversation. He is down to earth and quite genuine. I left the interview desperately wanting the job. Today the owner called me back with bad news. I did not get the writer’s position. He gave it to someone with more writing experience. But, he also really enjoyed our interview and thought that I would be a good addition to the team. So, he created a new position for me. He’s not quite sure of everything that I will be doing, but it will include some writing and helping out with projects.
I think this job is perfect for me. It’s just what I wanted, an opportunity to get started with a wonderful company, learn, and develop myself as the company grows. I can’t explain how excited I am about this job. Thanks to all my friends who encouraged me and crossed their fingers/toes for me. You guys are great and I’ll buy you a drink after I get my first pay check.









Congrats, that could be a lot of fun, and getting to go to Petersburg is a weird little bonus.
