Amy and Jay: Painting my way to the next adventure!

February 12, 2013 started as a normal day. I went to work and everything was just plain and the same as it is everyday. That afternoon though, my sister asked me if I wanted to go to an Easely Amused painting night with her and her friend Melanie. Anyone that knows me knows that I love to paint and go and do things, but that day I was definitely not feeling it. Jay had just left for a hitch. My birthday had just happened. I just wanted to go home and hide in my bed. But I decided that being anti-social would be the opposite of what I needed, so I accepted my sister's invitation and went with her and Melanie and had a blast!

I really was not prepared for the way that this night would change my life. I can only explain it as an answered prayer. The story is that I was speaking to a marketing major/teacher stranger across the table from me when the stranger to the right of me overheard me talking and said that her company just had a position in marketing open and that she thought that I would be perfect. Her name is Cindy and after talking to her a little bit, she gave me her email address to send my resume to. The next day I was contacted by Human Resources who wanted to set up an interview. Two interviews, one online personality assessment and a timed test later, I got the job of my dreams--or so it appears. I won't know for sure until I start work this Wednesday. But I can definitely say that I have loved speaking with everyone that I have met so far and the company seems to really respect their employees and treat them well. So TODAY, was my very last day with the employer that I have worked for for the past FIVE YEARS. It was my first job that I had out of college and I must say that I have well outgrown it. Adios, farewell, adieu....
