Wednesday, 24 October 2007 I woke up really early today--the earliest I've gotten out of bed in months! I had an executive interview with the PR company I've been setting my eyes on and it went really great. As in I really really want the job! It's a company born out of passion--this came straight from hopefully my future boss' mouth--and it's very values-driven, which is what I found was lacking in my last two jobs.I was working my guts out and I didn't know what for. I didn't see the value. It was all about results--making sure my deliverables were submitted on time, ensuring that the needs of Clients A, B and C were met blah blah blah. I didn't really get anything out of it besides becoming better at organizing things and honing my bullshitting skills. I wasn't really growing much as a person and it was only inevitable that things got too stagnant for me. And I felt detached. A lot of companies believe in keeping emotional issues separate from that of work, they claim it isn't professional. But being detached has never been my thing. I can't help it. I pour everything into my work--it's either that or NOTHING. I don't like letting my vision be compromised for the sake of meeting this target or that or whatever. So when future boss told me that he found that common corporate practice to be nothing but bullcrap, it hit me then--I WANT IN. As in we share a lot of common values and opinions and I felt that he wasn't just bullshitting me the way the toad did every time he made his empty promises of grandeur. This guy, I felt, was really passionate about what he's doing. Not merely doing it because he KNOWS he's good at it, which I'm not saying is a bad thing. But doing something because it's your passion? That's just amazing. And I really think it would do me a hell of good if I work for a company that would really help me grow not only as a career person but as an individual as well. So I really hope they give me a call soon!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!! :) I applied for two jobs there--one as a writer and the other as an accounts person. And I swear I'm okay with either! I love writing and I love managing accounts so...well I know I'll be where I need to be so I'm leaving it all to chance! Hehehehe ciao!
