I started a new job this week. I'm working at Prodigy Promos. Let me tell you the story.
I got a phone call about a month ago from Jason (my new boss), and he asked me to come work for him. Well, in all honesty he had called me originally about a year and a half ago and asked if I'd be interested in coming over to work for him then. I was not interested at the time, but I was duly flattered and thanked him for thinking of me.
Well, this time he called and offered me a position with more potential. We met for lunch, him and the VP and I and we hashed out potential details. I was so torn: I hadn't even been looking for another job. But the money was better, and the potential for growth definitely there.
It was really difficult to make the decision. I agonized over it. I love my coworkers at AMP, I loved my job. But most of what was holding me back was fear of taking a leap. I prayed and prayed, but the funny thing is as soon as I would finish my prayer I would think Prodigy every time. But then I would say a p.s. prayer saying 'Hey, was that You answering? Or is that just me? Help discerning is appreciated. Love You.' but the fear was still holding me back.
I don't have a reason why this was the right answer (except the obvious increase in salary and hopefully room for growth) yet. But I feel so good about it. Once I spoke with my boss(es) at AMP it has all been great. I was so worried that everyone there would be mad, but they weren't. They were sad but so supportive. I had underestimated my coworkers entirely.
So I started on Tuesday. It's not that the work is exciting yet or anything, there is just a good vibe and I'm excited to know what I'm talking about. I'm excited to help them in their growth to get organized.
The Moral of the Story is, just go for it! I was so afraid of choosing something new, and so afraid to tell my bosses, and then to start. But it all was fine and I am so ready to be challenged and to grow.
