I got my first legitimate offer this week and I'm seriously considering it. I would be a marketing manager for a publishing company. Still have other interviews next week, but I really like the offer letter (employees get their birthdays as a paid holiday!) and I have never felt so comfortable talking to prospective employers.
It's a little cheesy, but as I've has tons of interviews in the past week and a half, I am reminded of my sorority recruitment. I've been keeping a little notebook filled with my thoughts about the places, I studied their company mission and histories, I've prepared questions in my head to ask and answer, and I've been able to stress what is most important to me (a positive work environment where I'm busy, I enjoy the people and the work and I have a good work and life balance). Well, again, being reminded of sorority life, the moment I walked into ABC company, I felt "at home"-- that these people were like me.
So PNM's going through recruitment-- this experience will come back to haunt you later in life-- but in a good way!
