I suppose it's time to spill my exciting news to the blogging world... I didn't want to say anything until it was official, but I got a new job! (With the same company and same division, just moved to a different role.) Meet the new, Marketing Coordinator! :) I would just like to point out the irony in the fact that I started college planning to major in Marketing, but switched to Finance. Now I work for a financial services company doing Marketing...haha!
Monday I started my first official day as the Marketing Coordinator for the Investment Services division! It's been a long process, but I feel very fortunate to have been given this opportunity, especially so soon after starting work for the company. Back in December, my sweet friend and co-worker Judith had a baby and was fortunate to be able to stay home with him. I am forever grateful for all the training she gave me and encouragement that I too can do the job she & I both loved, until she found one she loved a little more. :)
In February we started looking to fill her position and I was one of the people who interviewed for the job. Late in February I was told I would be promoted, but not until they found someone to fill my current position. More interviewing and a few weeks later and I've officially moved into a new cube and a new role, with new responsibilities, big ideas, and a new coworker!! (Don't worry Judith, I will always miss you no matter what - I'm just excited to have someone helping out again!) It's been exciting and stressful to prepare for, but I see lots of great possibilities and I think I'm truly going to love my new job! First on the agenda, catching up from all the projects we've been behind on while short-handed and preparing for our big sales conference in May! Then, perhaps I'll work towards getting my Series 7 license! Wish me luck!!! :)
On a separate note: I want to ask that everyone please keep my Champa in their prayers. He's been experiencing some strange symptoms and is most likely looking towards surgery. Please pray for answers, wisdom for the doctors, comfort for him and my Gram, and a safe, effective procedure. I'm not picky in my prayer requests though. :) Thank you!!!
I am so excited for you Jamie! You have a heart for people and such a creative mind...the two things that position must have more than anything else {in that order}. I still feel like I left so many things undone {probably because I didn't get to accomplish everything on my list before I was put on bed rest :( } but I know the "art department" will do well with you at the helm. :) Have fun! And on those days when you feel completely overwhelmed {and you will have many} please stop by my casa on your way home and I will make you some wonderful espresso and Matthew will smile and coo for you. Everything is better with coffee and baby giggles. Love you friend! :)
