how did it go?
I did great. Maybe fudged up a bit on one question but overall it was fine.
Will have a final interview but I think its a formality.

In other news, I chose IT because I knew I could get to 100k with no degree, but always thought it was a pipe dream...now I can actually see it within my grasp..easily. :to:

How did you get started and how far were you in your first career before you made the switch?

About to switch telework days to M/W/F. Everyone agreed to telework on Thursday’s so I have the place to myself. I think seeing these mfs one day a week is all I can stand.

What do you brehs/brehettes use to stay organized/time management at work?
I make a checklist. I use the morning to organize my day and a little time at the end of the day as well.

Job wasnt training me and started giving me a bunch of responsibilities when I've been only reading the online handbook.

So I'm back on the market. Tailor made my resume for an Account Manager role. That's the only job that will pay me what I need to make and my passion will have to be on my own time.

Checked Reddit and it seems a plain resume is the best resume. Gonna see what happens. I need $50k minimum.

Phone interview tomorrow. I'm gonna call out sick so I can go to the gym and take time prior to prep and relax. Hopefully all goes well and then I can get the Power Day in the next 2 weeks. No lie, this company's cases aren't easy but I'm praying and prepping for a break through.

Best case scenario would be I get the offer right once I land for vacation, come back from vacation and drop my 2 weeks notice they day I arrive. Start 2020 with a new job and kick off Phase II of my post-grad life. Next move would be my pivot back to SS-Africa.

I still have some other options in the pipeline, only problem is I wouldn't be able to fire them up until mid-Jan 2020.

I'm really just tryna dip from this role. Our team is just not set up for success, like I'm too over this place. Also looking forward to vacation. I'm out of the country for 2.5 weeks. I just need a big change of scenery and a mental refresh.

Anyone helped a different department with something you thought was insignificant
and then get requests/inquiries to do it more often ?

This BDR was struggling to nail an appointment with some key decision makers so

out of goodwill and curiousity

I made the calls ...

and

I ate those secretary objections and "email me info" objections like scooby snacks
and got a few rock solid demos scheduled for the firm

It was great to see I still got it but this idiot hasn't stopped bugging me for the last 2 weeks
about how to do this and how to do that. I gave him my script and then he says some b.s.
like " Oh the sales director won't allow that"

I thought it was dead until his sales lead sent me an e-mail today requesting a team meeting tomorrow


I'm not on his team so I can curve it since it won't affect my contract:lolbron:

Resume is on point. Sending apps out now.

My passion is one thing but being in sales/account management brings in the money so :manny:

We shall see.

Update.

So the head of sales changed the meeting date to today out of the blue

I decided to go to the meeting but I had to notify the CMO ( Media Director is on leave )
that the head of sales wanted to have a meeting with me.

He didn't reply so I figured meh - whatever. He's too busy

Then he shows up at the meeting 2 minutes in.

Head of sales was like

" what are you doing here ? ":dwillhuh:


CMO closed the door and they proceeded to duke it out with corporate platitudes



I felt like a girl watching 2 simps fight over me :dame:

In the end - nothing got resolved and the Sales head walked off in a huff.

I'm either getting bushed or getting a new contract or job offer :manny:
