Today, I made a very big decision in my life and for my career. After receiving a job offer from a PR agency here in Portland, I decided that I would take the position. Two weeks from today, I will be at a new office, with new people, working on new projects and learning all that I can.
I am an adventurous person when it comes to trying new things, but somehow, this time around, I feel nervous as this is the beginning of my career. I am have completed college and now I am ending my life as an intern and beginning as a "real" employee.
Sometimes, I feel as though college didn't prepare me for all the obstacles I would face in the career world. This is the same feeling I have that high school didn't prepare me at all for college. How was I to tell my boss, I was offered a position? How do I put in two-weeks notice? It all seemed foreign.
I am so excited to be a part of a wonderful agency here in town, and move on from my "student" and "intern" titles. However, sometime being the new kid, isn't always so fun. I feel sad to be leaving a place where I was able to meet so many interesting and intelligent people, including my manager, whom I look up to and admire, but I also feel excitement to take on new and different things.
I am so hopeful that this opportunity will be a great learning experience. I hope that I will become an asset to the team and before long, I will be in similar shoes to those whom I look up to.
Bottom line?
I am sad, nervous, excited, and pumped.
I will be blogging throughout this transition, so stay tuned.
