Finally!

Yesterday was a busy day. I went with Sophie and Arthur to the Nonprofit & Social Services Career Fair at PSU. It was kind of a misnomer because most of the organizations there were looking for volunteers rather than employees, which was somewhat disappointing. However, Sophie and I did find some organizations were interested in volunteering for - like Meals on Wheels. I think we are going to try and do a route together.

It was such a beautiful day out that we decided to stay a little longer downtown and went out to lunch at this delicious Thai place right by the PSU campus. Then we went for a walk down by the river and Willamette Park. It was beautiful out and so wonderful to be in the sunshine, watching the wind blow over the water.

The best part was when we got back home, Sophie and Arthur left and I noticed I had a missed call and voicemail on my phone. I checked it and it was a women named Kia calling from Ecos Consulting asking me about my availability for an interview! I was so excited! I immediately called her back and scheduled an interview for Friday at 12:30pm. It's an excellent opportunity. Ecos is a sustainability consulting firm, so they help businesses become more environmentally friendly, improving things like their energy efficiency and helping them find ways to reduce their carbon emissions. They also have a marketing department that helps their clients tell the story of their sustainability efforts to their customers, also in an environmentally conscious way. The position is for a Receptionist/Administrative Assistant and would definitely have opportunity for advancement. The benefits are excellent and their office is located downtown which would make public transportation incredibly easy to access.

I'm spending the day preparing for the interview and trying to keep myself from being too excited. An interview is great, but it isn't a job offer, so there is still work to be done to make sure I can secure that offer and begin working.
