For months I’ve search for a job. It’s been a sore spot for me because everyone uses it as conversation piece.
“How’s job hunting?”
Up until today, I would think bitterly in my head, but respond with the voice of angels.
“Oh, it’s going swell.”
Ok, so I really haven’t been thinking or acting like that, but job hunting has been on the top of my least favorite things to do in the world.
Today that all changed. I had an interview in downtown Nashville at a law firm. Since Gray had the afternoon off, he drove me. The firm’s office was on the 28th floor and the elevator ride was kind of like being on the Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World, granted I love that ride, so it wasn’t so bad for me.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator, the receptionist greeted me.
“Are you Becca?” she asked. It caught me completely out of nowhere. I was not expecting her to know me off the top of her head. I said yes and she dialed Kristen, my friend from high school who got me the interview. Kristen appeared after a moment and explained that her boss always goes for coffee at 3:00 p.m. and we were to wait.
The boss showed up a minute later and the interview began. I’m not the type that researches the company and gets attached before the interview. I usually get attached after the interview. After talking for about fifteen minutes about what they do and the benefits, I was excited. I will get to use the skills from my degree for the law firm. That’s probably what excites me the most, I would be getting paid to do what I love to do. Score!
After we left, I called up my mom, Cathy and Trina and described the interview to them. Just when I had finished talking to people, we were back in the Murfreesboro outskirts and my cell phone rang. I glanced at the number, Gray told me to answer it and so I did. It was Kristen, letting me know that the firm wanted to hire me.
So I accepted and I start work on Monday. It’s a great relief for the Sanborns. We were so happy tonight, gushing about how the extra money will help with finances. I’m dreaming about paying off my student loan and I’m glad I’ll be able to give more money to get it paid off.
So now you won’t see posts in the job hunting category, but instead the WORK category. However, I probably won’t post about work unless it is positive. I wouldn’t want to be dooced, right?
To celebrate, Chile actually posed for the camera!
