The Pink Shoe Diaries

well, the jay-oh-bee search continues...

i have been pretty busy with the interviews.

Wednesday early morning = quit job at property management company
Wedesday late morning = 2 hour interview at swank investment management firm
Thursday morning = 4 hour test/interview at environmental consulting firm
Friday Afternoon = interview at the HQ office of retail company (i think that's what it is)

i love applying for new jobs...it's so exciting! i mean, every job looks good when you interview..it isnt until your first week there that you realize what you are REALLY getting yourself into. i'm a pro at changing jobs though. why should i have to stick it out at a place that i hate? i'm young, a recent college grad, and i market myself EXTREMELY well, so i don't feel the need to settle...if i start settling now when I'm 24....what will happen when i'm 30?

during the interview at the investment management firm, several people asked me "what is your ultimate goal..where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and my answer to all of them was "i have no idea..." because it's true. i don't know what i want to do..i know it will most likely include going back to school if my parents have anything to do with it....but you never know. i feel like i am too young to know where i will be and what i will be doing next year...let alone five years from now..the job that i start now may turn out to be my career? you never know what your opportunities may be at a new place, or what you might be capable of.

so this is kind of why i like this time before starting a new job..i like feeling that this could be it, that the whole world is wide open and i can make whatever decision i want.

who knew i could be so philosophical pre-coffee?
