What a month!
As most of you know I have been unemployed since December (2nd time in 12 months). I have been applying to every posting that fits withing my ability, salary range, area and what I
want to do.
While at my last job (in residential construction), I was introduced to Community Association Institute. I jumped on a committee, got to know the Executive Director. I will not mention her by name, but she is AWESOME. Felt like she took on my unemployment cause and she sent me leads. She did send me one lead that she said I would be perfect for, I had/have doubts. But it was within my abilities, industry, etc.
I applied to said company. Interviewed several times (even via video, they are based in DC). I got the job offer on Monday, Jan 30th and was on a plane for my first day on Feb 6th.
I went to DC for training and orientation for said company. WOW-O-- first class company I signed on with! I still don't want to mention their name, but my managers gave me awesome information and leads and have sent me back to Texas to take it by storm. I am now a Regional Purchasing Manger with the territory of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. If you have the products that I need, you will be hearing from me shortly!
Thank you new company for giving me the opportunity to be part of your first class team!
