Total Serious Happy Thread - Page 48

My "boss" loved my first design! He approved it and it's been forwarded to the client for approval. If she likes it, I nailed it on the first try, and more work will be coming my way!

Also, got the "official" invite for this year's non-profit celeb shoot, and I'm being presented with a staff shirt.

The shoot is two weeks from this Saturday at a major studio!

I'm feeling rather accomplished.

WTG!!!

That is wonderful news MG!!

Disneyphile · 04-29-2009, 11:54 AM

Awesome, MG!

Oh, and the client loved the design, so now I'll have a nice side income. It's awesome pay for very little time involvement. I just design 'em, and the programming team does all the rest, and I don't even have to mess with contracts, etc.

Once her website goes live, I'll share the link.

I think my interview went well today. I won't know for sure till next week or later, but my read on it is positive.

What I'm not sure about is whether it'll be for a regular barista position, or if I'll get a shift lead position. She did say that she was looking to bring in a little maturity to the team, as many of her workers are in their early 20's and that other stores are often mostly teens. So I guess that'll work in my favor. She was telling me something about how there are a few stores in the area, each possibly needing to fill only a few extra hours, so of course I said that'd be no issue. But I'm really encouraged that she went into that much detail with me, because it sounds like she's at least considering me to fill it.

Basically, she said I'd hear something next week, either just letting me know she hasn't forgotten me, or possibly a call for a 2nd interview with the mgr of another store, or something.

If I can at least get some management experience, it'll totally be worth the drop in pay from my last position.

Goonie, definitely would be good to get a management spot. Good luck!

D- congratulations on the side project! Of course they love you!

Disneyphile · 04-30-2009, 02:26 PM

And...... the firm loves me more already!

I've already been offered another project, starting tomorrow. I'll actually meet my "boss" and his client at his office. Apparently, it's a "huge" project, and he thinks I'll be perfect for it.

Cha-ching!
