New job!

I know I am terrible at blogging!!!! I never have much to say other than I was at work this week and my dogs are cute. Same old, same old, all the time and even though I'm okay with boring, thats no fun for other people to read.

But, I am happy to say I have news-- I got a new job! One night last month I happened to be looking at craigslist and decided to search under "animal". Listed under jobs available was a "Clinical Sales Rep". Innovative Animal Products is based out of Minnesota and they were hiring a rep to sell surgical supplies to veterinarians in California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. HELLO!!!! They might as well have sent me the job description directly because it was MEANT for me. The post was 2weeks old so I was afraid the position had been filled but luckily they were still in the interview process. I had to do 4 interviews, one of which was a skype webcam interview (never done that and its not pretty) and the final interview was out in Minnesota with a full blown powerpoint presentation I had to create. Stress!

But, I am THRILLED to announce I got the job! What this means for you?!?! This means I will be a better friend because I will not be working 12 hour days 6 days a week anymore. It means I will actually pick up the phone and learn how to dial again. I will return text messages and voicemails! I will try to remember birthdays- TRY that is :) AND, since I cover those 4 states, I will actually VISIT you too!!!! If you keep in touch I will let you know when I'm coming and we can meet for lunch or dinner. I can see your babies before they turn 16!!! :)

In all seriousness, it is interesting to look back over the last 10 years and see how each job taught me something that I would need for this job. I lived in and did outside sales in each state. Tradeshows, Conferences, Sales to doctors, animal hospital experience- all of it built the perfect experiences for me to qualify. I feel so lucky!

Now I can pay my bills and save doggies all in one job!
