Work
This week I’ve received 3 phone calls for job interviews and kinda-sorta got another job offer. I haven’t done any job searching for almost a month. Why does it take people so long to start interviewing?
Anyway, tomorrow completes week number three of my new job. In three weeks I feel like I’ve learned a lot about this new field I’ve entered into. I’ve also realized that I have A LOT more to learn. I’ve picked up a couple of books about copywriting & advertising that I’m slowly reading. I also picked the brain of a fellow-blogette about quality copywriting blogs. I’m excited about the challenge to learn stuff in a new field.
I am still in love with my new job. I’ll admit that I miss the life of afternoon naps that I enjoyed over the summer, especially on days that I get up at 5am to go workout. (Yes, I am insane, but the thass has got to go.)
I’m getting into a rhythm with this new schedule and now the challenge is to have the energy for work and all the fun stuff I want to do, like, more blogging.
3 week is nothin’. It took me 6 months to get hired at my current job. Unfortunately, filling open heads is always at the bottom of the list for a lot of people. Once you get into making do without an extra person - suddenly it seems less necessary until HR is breathing on your neck to hire someone before the funding disappears. And not taking advantage of funding is like, the ultimate corporate sin.
I’m glad you’re loving the job though. I work in advertising too and it’s always been interesting and filled with perks. And, occasionally, fun.
“thass”….that’s awesome! I have never heard that before…definitely will be incorporating that into my vocabulary!
glad things are going well.
It’s an interesting field to be in. And what works one day totally doesn’t work the next. Very humbling, often stressful, but always really fun.
