So after much soul searching, Ross and I decided that in order for me to find the job of my dreams, I needed to really focus on only applying for roles that would make me happy, no matter what money it is. So to combine my love of art and writing, I decided to pursue a career in marketing.

I started about three weeks ago, sending CV after CV out, registering with agencies and REALLY trying to find “the one.”

I finally got two interviews. One is a fairly local company who were in need of a Marketing Coordinator. The other is all the way in Maidenhead, and it was a Marketing Admin role. Both were amazing opportunities. I had the first interview last week, and they somehow liked me. They asked me to come back and give a 20 minute presentation to the Sales Manager.

The second job I interviewed for earlier this week, and they were great too. The money was fantastic, and the prospects were good for the future. I was divided.

Thinking I wasn’t good enough for the Marketing Coordinator role, I pinned my hopes on the second company since they seemed to LOVE me at the interview.

I was told I’d have an answer yesterday, and I never got the call.

Today, I had the second interview at the first company, and despite being sick and very nervous, I managed to NAIL the presentation.

I got a call within an hour and a half offering me this prestige position. I immediately called my agent from the second job and told them I needed an answer today. They came back to me quickly and said that I hadn’t got the job offer from the second job after all (a more qualified candidate came up), but that they were offering me a DIFFERENT position within their company.

Following my heart and my mind, I knew that there was only one job I wanted.

So next Wednesday I start a brand new job as the Marketing Coordinator for a company I will henceforth refer to as Current Employer.

Bam. I am ridiculously overjoyed.
