Well ladies and gentlemen, I am officially back in the workforce as of Monday. I accepted a job as a Marketing Manager at a small communications technology company in Lake Forest, ironically just around the corner from my previous company's building. That should make for some exiting run-ins at the food court!
So far, I really like all of my new coworkers. There are 2 front office guys, the owner/CEO/president, 4 service techs, 1 sales guy, the HR woman, and myself. Yes, that means there are only 2 ladies in the office... unless you count the owner's dog, Mindy, who is our mascot and comes to work every day.
I have definitely take a HUGE bite that will probably take some chewing, but I am really happy in my new environment. Despite the unavoidable headaches that I will probably be experiencing when things get underway, I think this is an unbelievable opportunity for me and certainly something that I am excited to pursue.
And now, I am headed to bed (where Sam has been for an hour already) because I am making the effort to be a little more professionally dressed at work this time around. If anyone has any marketing connections, I would greatly appreciate any and all advice that I can get- I am trying to build myself a support network so that when things come up that I haven't seen before I have people I can rely on for help.
PS- I am now one of those people who puts a notepad next to the bed because in the middle of the night last night I was up, mind racing, and the only way I could get it to calm down was by writing everything on paper.
PPS- Next week my Fall Quarter marketing classes end, which I could not be more excited about. It's tough going to work 8-5 and then straight to class until 9:30!
