Corporate-gift-basket
is a two part series, once you have read part one; we encourage you to continue on to the gripping conclusion with Corporate-gift-basket part two. Here is the fallout after the fall of my house of cards. To set the scene, it is March 1988 and today I intend to search for a new job (as I lost my last one the month before). It wasn't a small business or a home business; it was a prestigious university in Los Angeles. I really hated losing it because I was very comfortable there for over the previous eight years. This is the culmination of two years of being raked over the coals in my previous job. I was really due for a career change any way. But little did I know that it would lead to this corporate-gift-basket and not being to work any job. It was all my fault for loosing the job; an unforgivable sin. After that, all my lines of communication with all the people that could help were totally severed. Truth is that I was well liked by most people at the university. Corporate-gift-basket: Getting a Good Job It is my intention to not rush things anymore ever. While At the employment center & scanning the available offerings I began making a list of the ones that appealed to me and hoping that I can land one that will afford for a purpose drive life and the type of lifestyle that I have been used to. Next, I got in line to speak with a counselor and took a seat to be called. After a few moments my name was called and I was taken to the counselor's office. Corporate-gift-basket: Finding The Best One The counselor then quickly scanned my list asking me to see if I am serious and qualified for the job opportunities that I listed earlier. I carefully watched her every move, just like a small child watching their mom baking a chocolate cake (and I do love my chocolate cakes). I sensed her approval. She then said, "The listing for the assistant manager position just opened today, we will have to schedule you for an interview." I said, "That's great." Then she said, "Excuse me while I call them." I listened intently as the one-sided communication began. In the middle of the conversation, she rose from her desk to pull a page from a binder that was on the top of a filling cabinet & began writing some instructions. At this point, I'm thinking that I am going to be working soon. Positive thinking always helps me to stay focused on the task at hand. She then explained more details about the job; who will interview me, the appointment date and time, where finally she asks, "Are you sure this job is for you?" I immediately said," Yes, I certainly hope so." She gave me the instructions and rose again to shake my hand while saying, "Good luck." I said," Have a blessed day." Corporate-gift-basket: Preparing for The Interview My interview is at 2pm, just enough time to go home have a snack before I go to the interview. Let's see, I'll make a sandwich get some juice and an orange. That'll work. As I was locking the front door and closing the screen, suddenly, my left arm stop working. Real strange, I had no sensation at all. I unlocked the door, walked into the house, to close the door, and guess what? My arm is as good as new. I then stopped thinking about the arm issue and went to the interview. This job is an assistant manager position for a family run small business in the area of freeway construction (this job is something very new to me). This company will train on the job to ultimately to be placed as an office manager position with all benefits that come with it (pay bonuses and other benefits). The interview went well. The manager said that he would call me with his decision. This job site is about 10 miles from home. As I was opening the door to the house, the telephone rang, guess who it was? It was the manager telling me that he wants to hire me with all the benefits and pay that I agreed to about 10 minutes ago. Corporate-gift-basket: Working My New Job He asked me how soon could I start. As I said earlier, I am not in a rush. So I told him that I could start as soon as next Monday if that is all right. He said that's fine seeing you Monday at 6am. The idea is that I don't want to get a job that is pushy and making their employees jump through many hoops. That's not for me. I have learned from my last job. Working 16-18 hours a day. The wages were good, but you will burnout & never having enough time for yourself. After a few months, I got a raise to manager and started receiving manager pay and bonuses. This company was great to my peers and me. With my pay raise, I bought my first brand new car and a real diamond wedding ring with a large stone for my spouse. My new job entails traveling (this I really like). When traveling, this company gives their office managers a company car, pays for my travel expenses, rent, subsistence & even pays for my spouse and children to fly and visit me twice a month. Things are going more than fine for me. _________________________________________________________ Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving.
