Officially has a job...

AWESOME NEWS!! I start work on Monday!!!

Got called in for an interview on Friday for an Advertising company. They deal with sport/entertainment based direct advertising and have recently just opened in London. basically its a entry level management training program. There are 4 phases. 1. Distrubutor-just door to door sales and marketing 2. Leadership-training others as well as door to door sales/marketing and building ur own team 3 Assistant Manager 4. Manager. Each phase takes a certain time period to get through and in each there are specific criteria that one has to meet in order to get promoted. The more effort u put in, the faster u will move through the program and reach management. That is exactly what they are looking for, managers...as they are expanding and opening various offices and they need managers to run them. They take on big clients and make those clients a heck of a lot of money!!

So anyway...I had a great interview on friday and was called back for a second interview which i had all day today. Staring at 10 30am, was paired with Aidan, who is in the leadership phase of the Program and Mark who has just been promoted to Leadership from distribution. Spent the whole day with them out in the field, doing door to door sales for Sky Television (One of the companies big clients). Was a great day and had alot of fun. Getting to chat to strangers and just have a conversation, or sometimes, like what happened twice today, u get invited into their home for some tea or lunch. Its really great. Got back to the office around 7 30pm!! Had to fill in a short questionairre to test how much i had payed attention to and how much i learnt. After that, had a final interview and was offered the job right there. I start on Monday.

For now, salary is based on commision and bonuses. As u move throught the phases, of course pay increases as u have more responsibilities. Had an awesome day with Aiden, he a great guy and is so motivated to work, was assigned to his team now, so it is going to be awesome!! i cannot wait!!!

Have to be there 9 30am Monday morning to sort out the paperwork and once that is done, ready for the 3 days of training to get myself started with the sales. Work hours are npredictable, depending on how things go and what area we are sent to for the day, etc. But generally they say like 9 or 10am till 9 or 10pm......so very long hours on ur feet. But from the way it went today, very well worth it. Great people, lots of enthusiasm and fun in the office, everyone high fiving each other b4 they go out and when they get back, loud music playing in the mornings to get everyone pumped up to go out and do their thing. And the company backs everyone up very much, really invest in you. The more u put in, the faster u will get thru the program and start earning the big bucks as a manager in ur own office.

Gonna go rest now, so overwhelmed and tired from the last 2 days. Will write again soon.

Love to my friends and family.

XOXOXO

Am really excited and cannot wait to start.
