Title: Finally!
Post by: jadegrniiz on May 23, 2001, 03:46:57 pm
I got a job! I got a job! Oh My GOSH I gotta job!
I'm just so excited I could scream (oh, wait... I did that already!).
And, it's even in the field I want to make a career out of! I'll be the Fund Development Coordinator for a non-profit organization. I'll be doing grant writing, working aside the Development Officer... and also doing Community Relations and what-not.
It is truly a GREAT day

I'll be the first to say: CONGRATULATIONS!
But wait, you WANT to go into development? I was in it for 9 years, and have just, after 6 years, un-pasted the fake smile from my face that developed after dealing with major gifts donors who were "always right" and thought I was the epitome of lowest on the totem pole.
I wish you the best, but I gotta tell ya, if you're not an actress now, start working on it!

Andrea, gosh... 'yer makin me all teary.
Donna? Yes, I want to get into Development. I love Fund Raising, ESPECIALLY for worthy causes. One of my best friends and mentors is a Development Director, and she's taught me everything she knew. It's something I am good at, and better yet... something I love. In fact, my VA biz that I'm starting on the side is actually targeted toward Non-profits, and offers discounted pricing.

Not only did you get the job but you got the job you wanted! You are so lucky.
I believe things happen for a reason so maybe you had to wait for the right one to become available.
Unfortunately, my cubicle is too small to turn a cartwheel (as if I could) so you will just have to visualize Radar turning a cartwheel!

Jade,
Glad to hear that you got a fabulous opportunity.
I'm sure that helps take some of the stress off your current situation.
Best of luck to you. Enjoy the summer and your learning curve.
Hope all is well in your new neighborhood.

Thank you guys for ALL the encouragement and support. I have certainly needed it to keep my sanity.
I don't know my starting date as of this minute. The organization I'll be working for is affiliated with a Hospital, and I'll need to attend the Hospital's New Hire Orientation before I can begin.
Hey Laura.. yep, it's a fire near me. From what I understand it's about 10 miles or so north of my house. But hey, the wind is blowing all the smoke your way.. so sunny, clear and breezy skys abound here.
