Vol III: #62 New Job
Wasn’t too long ago I wrote about needing a job. And then, magically or randomly, a sales role landed in my lap. No resume needed, no real interview required. Two friends vouched for my character and experience and the job was mine. Today I began to swim in this new stream. It feels familiar yet different- emails, sales projections, and client meetings, but no office or rah-rah company culture. My role as a sale manager will test what I know and push me to be better than I ever was. And, I will be paid better than any previous job. So, win-win. Right?
As I see it, the real prize isn’t a more prestigious job title or more money. The true gift is the leaders on the team, and this is an answer to prayer too. I asked for leadership training and I’m going to get it. What a blessing. And from men who have integrity and grace. Seriously and for a second time, what a freaking blessing.
I don’t know what will come over the next three months or the year after, but I do know my new job is a gift from the Lord. My goal is to extract every ounce of learnin’ and growin’ I can. And buy my momma a fancy vacation for Christmas.
Thank you Lord.
