So Here I Am



Yes it's me again. Trying to start ANOTHER blog so I can maybe actually keep up with it like I should. Who am I? That's a good question. Some people think I'm a funny, outgoing fashionista, while others think I am quiet, shy and timid (and probably those who I grew up with think I am a "grunge girl"). It's pretty funny that I have found my "assertiveness" in the corporate world. I am not sure if it is the whole "every man (or woman for himself" mentality, but let's just say when it comes to walking around my corner of the 11th floor in the building where I work I don't really know what shy is. It's kind of like a cat when someone else comes into their territory, they are usually really bold and "mark" whomever that may be by rubbing against their leg, but if you take them for a drive in the car in "unknown" territories they shake and shed really bad.

I had an interview this week and really felt like I was in my element. I have figured out that all interviews are is a way to brag about yourself. You put yourself in the spot light and convince the other person why you are the best man for the job. There isn't much room for humility in interviews. You have to sell yourself. It is kind of scary that I would find myself in my "element" while bragging about myself...but in the corporate (and almost any) world it is one of those necessary things. I just hope my interviewers see it my way.

I'm promise my blogs will not be incoherent ramblings, but the first one is since I don't have much to say (Could have fooled me, right?). So here's to new blogs and coherent thoughts. Cheers.

No where in the rules does it say blogs must be coherent! Welcome to the blogger world. May you find it friendly, challenging and cathartic.
