So I want to tell a short story about a gal who approached me on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. She said she was in the beginning stages of her career search and thought she would take a chance to see if I had any words of wisdom. (How could I turn that down). Anyway, we scheduled some phone time and I ran her through a series of questions to see how I could possibly offer her direction. After a really impressive conversation, she proceeded to tell me she applied for the Campaign Desk Coordinator position and was not moved forward. Needless to say, I scheduled a face to face interview with her and she just met with the Campaign Desk Team on Friday.
My point to all this… if you really want something, think creatively on how to get yourself closer to the goal. She didn’t just sit back and wait, she thought, she took action, she put herself out there… and now she has a shot that she did not have before. I cannot guarantee that she will get the position, but I will guarantee that if she ever needs advice or a wall to bounce ideas off of, I will be there for her.
WAY TO GO MRM, I take my hat off to you.
