And you are?
I'll be the hot red-head kicking butt as a permanent employeefor an investment firm.
Yes, I got the offer. To be fair, the offer came in last night at 8 p.m. They called me at home, where in my pjs and cold cream, I accepted their generous offer for employment. I did wait until after the reference check before I announced it to everyone. (I love my former bosses, one told them that they couldn't hire me cause he needed me to move back to work for him) Yes, I was stalling.....cause then I had to tell work, even though as a temp I didn't have to, but I did.
I waited as long as I could but it went well. For some reason, noone was surprised and they all wished me the best. I guess they saw it before I did.
I am so thrilled. I didn't get thrilled until one of my fellow co-workers told me that he hoped it challenged me. When my eyebrows went up into my hairline....cause hello....was he being snarky? ( I have snarky ) But he went on to explain that it was obvious that I was being given work to keep me busy but nothing to challenge me.
I take that as a huge, huge compliment from him. Plus I realized it was true, the more work I asked for, the more mundane and routine the tasks seemed. I did love the HR work, I loved the interaction with the people, but it was not a challenge.
I left that conversation, very very excited!!!
Cause I've never worked in financials before, so I have a ton of challenges ahead of me. :)
Boy, the Lord really gives you want you need, even if it isn't what you want........
