Positive Energy and Shameless Promotion

I think I've asked everyone I know for positive energy and good thoughts and it really seems to be doing a number on me- a good one, that is! So thank you to those friends who whether through prayers or just good thoughts, help provide me with positive feedback and the energy I need to make it through this little rough patch.

I had an interview last week for a promising position. Probably won't hear back about that one until next week. This week I have a very exciting interview for a position that I really want, with a company that I find extremely admirable in their promotion from within, team atmosphere and overall friendliness of employees. I had interviewed for an entry level position prior to taking my previous job, and withdrew from consideration at the very end to take what ended up to be a more challenging position. The position I'm interviewing for now though, I know I wouldn't have been called for without this past year of experience I've had, so for that, I'm thankful.

I'm also thankful for Mr. Jim Host, who, after learning I was no longer with my former company, offered a kind word and permission to use him as a reference. It's funny to think I actually did a presentation with him to a large group of people. Didn't seem odd at the time, but now it does. He's a legend!


And then, on the topic of public speaking- I was on my way to Zumba with Kathy (my sister-in-law) who then reminded me that I ALSO spoke at my MBA graduation with one of the Vice Presidents of the company I'm interviewing for this week!


So, I'm feeling the positivity, and now have 2 points of promotion so far this week- and it's only Tuesday :)
