Just wanted give an update on my job situation. I lost my awesome dream job earlier in the summer due to a company reorganization and wanted to announce that I found another job and I start tomorrow (would have posted earlier but I've been on vacation...)!
I will be working for well-known consumer brands company tomorrow as a territory sales manager. I will be working from home again and will have a flexible schedule so I am very excited about that. I really clicked with my new boss during the interviewing process and I also am so excited that I will be getting a company car (to be a delivered tomorrow).
As sad as I was to lose my other job, I think I am actually going to come out ahead by accepting the new position because I still have some severence money left and getting the company car will be a huge bonus. I guess everything happens for a reason!
I have my first sales meeting in Florida this week-I'll keep y'all posted on how it all shakes out!
Congratulations! You're right - it's hard to see the opportunities when something devastating like a job loss happens...but it sounds like now you will be in an even better place, career-wise. :)
