I just got a call from TOMS human resources that I will be their Spring 2012 Product Development Intern! I am super excited for this journey and experience. I am very thankful and feel very blessed to have this opportunity. One of my favorite quotes says it best, My cup overflows with blessings. Psalm 23:5. I truly believe all the opportunities that I have been given are blessings, and have made me who I am today.
As I look at the list I made of the jobs that I have applied for, I remember back to when I applied for TOMS (back in November). I received a phone call in December where right then and there, I had my first phone interview with no warning (talk about being ready for anything and everything! That's the fashion industry for you!). Then I was told my application was going to be forwarded to the head managers, and I would be hearing back from them soon to see if I was going to be moving onto the next step. Then, a few days later, I got an email stating that I would be having a phone interview with two people from the Product Development department. At the end of my phone interview, they asked if I was able to come in for an in-person interview the next week, so I made my way down to HQ. (I looked like a kid in the candy store when I walked in amazed to be at the TOMS HQ and with Blake a few feet away from me on the phone, starring in my direction...(talk about awkward moments...)). Then I met with some people in the Product Development department and I finally got to meet the HR person that I had been conversing with through emails this whole time. Afterwards, I headed back to my car with an hour still left on the meter.
I am hoping I will write and share my adventures in this blog with you, because I feel and know a new chapter in my life is about to unfold, so come along with me for the ride. :)
Thank you for reading! :)
