Remember last week when I was all lost and stuff about work and where to go? Well, I guess I kind of figured some stuff out. I got a job. A real one, that does not involve folding other people's laundry or walking a dog or driving anyone to school.
I'll be doing marketing and publicity for books at a very small (but well established/respected) firm in Sonoma. Eventually I might get to start editing and producing books as well. I'm really excited, because I love books and getting to work with them in any way is good for me. The position is entry level, but they are willing to take a chance on me and really help me enhance my skills, to learn and grow and reach my full potential, and I am very grateful for that. This is my foot in the door of the working world. No more nannying for me.
And I found this job randomly; as I said before I was just sending out resumes to anything that sounded intersting. I hadn't been receiving any responses, except this place and one other job that I actually didn't want. I went into the interview not expecting to get the job, but I still tried my best and it turned out to be a good thing. So, I'll go in for a few half days and training next week to learn the ropes, then I start full time on August 22.
Things are looking on up!
