Funny how things work
I’m so so SO excited to report that today I accepted a job offer! I’m the new marketing manager, effective April 5, for the US subsidiary of a French conglomerate. Today I received an office tour, an introduction to an office full of colleagues for whom I will have to re-learn their names in about two weeks, and a glimpse into my new office (big desk, big window, laptop, nice chair, etc.). My boss instructed the receptionist to please order my business cards in between telling me how happy they are that I’ve accepted the position and that he has a few big projects he’d like to toss my way with little supervision: “I expect you to work autonomously…you take ’em and you run with ’em.” “No problem!”
