it all started thursday. my first official job interview.
i must have sat at my computer for thirty minutes before it started (it was a google hangout)
practicing my computer smile.
so lame i know.
the interview started + he asked me if i would tell him a little about myself.
spiritually, what i liked to do, my goals, anything that i would like him to know about me.
i took a deep breath + 'i'm a mormon' was the first thing that popped out of my mouth.
now by no means am i the type of person to shy away from my religion, but i'm usually not the type of person to jump into introductions claiming my religion either.
(i would rather show by example than to come off pushy or self-proclaimed)
my mind raced millions of miles a second while quickly thinking of what to back up a very open statement that seemed to jump out of me.
i told him plainly that i didn't drink, i didn't smoke
+ because of that i am responsible + dependable,
i am trustworthy + don't ever have myself compromised because of influence.
i knew i had caught his attention with the fact that i didn't participate in the normal activities of a 22 year old + while i thought i might have said too much about that, as this opportunity has opened up,
those three words helped backup my work ethic.
i quickly went on to tell him more about my more 'normal self.'
the interview went on amazingly + as i closed down the computer,
i knew that if i got the job or not,
that hour long google hangout would be a moment to remember
because it was the moment that i realized that despite my insecurities about myself or whatever,
i'm confident in who i am.
i may be 22, but you better believe i'm feeling the heck out of 22.
i know my worth + because i know my worth,
i'm getting paid for my self-worth.
+ that's a pretty kick butt feeling.
*can i get a pound it?*
i stood up from that desk + went to open the door to tell jay alllll about it,
but then there he was,
sitting outside of that door JUST as (if not more) excited than i was.
he was listening that whole hour just to know how it went for me.
i cannot describe the feeling of pride he gave me in that moment.
having my jay is my biggest success, my biggest happiest.
the support that man give me for my goals, dreams + opportunities is so precious to me.
we jumped around + talked all the way to costa vida, where every celebration should be celebrated.
this job just about fell into my lap
+ it has been an answer to prayers before the prayers were said.
so i'm happy to announce that i am now a legit working gal.
i'll be the chief executive buyer + social media manager of a start up app called Whata.
i'll be starting/managing social media platforms like instagram, facebook, the blog, all the postings.
Whata is a womans fashion app that is similar to Groupon,
but will be more awesome, so i will be finding buyers for the app.
i'm SO excited to be apart of this + do something that i'm passionate about!
i'm really excited for this a m a z i n g oppurtuntiy + feel so blessed that my new team is so pumped for me to be apart of this company!
ps. i can't believe i've got my first real job!
