New Position

About a month ago, my store manager approached me about a position that was opening up. She explained that it would be a temporary Brand Expert position. This would entail being a part of the leadership/management team that would oversee the merchandising and the visuals of the store. My heart totally skipped a beat! That is exactly what I did for six months in Oregon and I loved it and I missed it! I drove home that night so absolutely excited that I could not get to sleep! It was better than Christmas!

A few weeks later and I interviewed for the position. It did not go well. I was reminded why I don't like giving talks, why I don't like meeting a ton of new people at once, etc. I don't know what people are thinking and I get so nervous that my brain just stops... My interview was with the lead manager over this position, however, this was a new experience for him, so my store manager sat in. I love Andrea and I was excited that she was going to be there until I realized, that she was going to interact at all in the interview! So I was doubly nervous. The longer it went, the worse it felt like it was going. Jordan would ask me a question and I would blank out. Or I would stutter or stumble through my response. I really felt like I was giving up at some point towards the end. At the end of the interview, I thanked them for the opportunity and walked away knowing that if I were to get this position, it would defintely be by divine means of intervention, and not by my interview performance.

Well, my friends, there has been some means of Divine Intervention.

This past week I was extended an offer for that position, to which I accepted. As it turns out, they were very impressed with my interview and with the experience that I already had. There were two candidates that they wanted, that they ended up creating two positions.

I know to some of you this may seem silly, but I cannot express how blessed that I feel to have had this opportunity. It really has been ideal. The timing, the requirements, my ability, so much has lined up that I doubt that I could have designed a better situation for this to happen. I'm so grateful to my managers and mentors who have taught me how to do my job so well, a supportive husband who believes in me, but most of all, my Heavenly Father who really does love and care fore me.
