Just wanted to let you guys know- I got an internship! I start next week.
Last week, I got a call from a lady I'd spoken with at a networking event. She had me come in the next day for an interview at a popular local magazine, which went REALLY well. They said they'd let me know in a couple of weeks what their decision was.
On my way home, I got an email from the orginal company I'd interviewed with. Recap: I was in their top 2, but they chose the person with better availability. Admittedly, my availability until May is sucky. I was bummed, but figured second choice at such a huge, prestigious company was great. So I kept marching on. Anyway, they wanted me to come back for another interview. Apparently another spot had opened up. Well, I was going to respond "yes" when I got home.
BUT, as soon as I opened my laptop to email them back, I had ANOTHER email from the magazine folks. Apparently I was such a good fit, they decided not to wait to offer me the position, and asked if I could start over spring break. I talked to DH about what to do. I slept on it, and responded the next day to both emails. Yes to the magazine, thank you but maybe some other time to the big advertising company.
So, I start next week! WOOHOO!
