IT'S OFFICIAL!

I got a new job, and resigned from my current job on Monday. I've been at this agency for 3 1/2 years now, and truth be told it was a good job out of college. I learned a lot about the industry, developed many client/internal relationships, and just really embraced being a working professional. I made my job a big priority in my life and really dove head first into starting my career. In the end, my company has taken advantage of my desire to get ahead in this industry though, and I have worked countless hours and late nights and NEVER got a raise. I was even promoted without a raise because they kept using the economy as an excuse. So I stayed persistent, I applied to a lot of places (in NY, down south, and in Chicago) and after quite a few let downs, I GOT A JOB!

I had gotten an email from a new pharmaceutical agency while I was waiting to hear back about a job at a digital agency I had interviewed at. I really wanted the digital job but responded to the new company anyway. Thank god I didn't put all my eggs in the digital basket because those jobs fell through. I ended up interviewing at the new agency on Thursday, September 30 and got a call saying I got the job on Friday, October 1 while I was traveling to Charleston to see my sister and niece. I verbally accepted the offer on Tuesday when I got back, and signed and sent my written offer letter that Friday. It all happened pretty quickly, and I'm excited to say that my last day at my current job is next Friday October 22, and then I start my new job on Wednesday October 27!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to leave everyone (all 3 of my followers) hanging for so long, but I didn't want to post anything until it was definitely official. I can't wait to start working at my new job. This opportunity even involves some consumer work! Thats what I'm most excited about. I fell into pharmaceutical marketing after school, and currently market directly to doctors. I really want to do consumer marketing for regular products like food and cars, so starting to do some consumer work (even though it is still for medications) will get me back on the right path to eventually do what I really want.

So life is pretty good right now, I'm excited to see where else life is about to take me! Oh yea, and the pay increase is pretty nice too. I can finally start to enjoy living in NYC a little bit instead of freaking out every time I go to the ATM because there is no money in my bank account.

HERE'S TO NEW BEGINNINGS!
