I will start working next week!

 

A few weeks ago, I shared on LinkedIn that I had accepted a new job, and I was truly overwhelmed by the response — over 14,000 impressions and so many likes from candidates, clients, and former colleagues. I’m genuinely grateful for all the support and kind messages.

As I mentioned in that post, I ultimately chose the company because it best matched my experience and skills. In many ways, I feel that job hunting is a lot like dating (though I’ve never actually done that!). It’s all about how much both sides want each other.

I spoke with several companies, mostly local agencies. About half preferred to “wait and see,” while others wanted to move things forward quickly, asking, “When can we schedule the second interview?” Those cases felt a bit one-sided, and I wasn’t particularly drawn to them.

The company I eventually chose also moved quickly, but I was genuinely interested in them. I could clearly picture myself working there, which made all the difference. The fact that the company has strong brand recognition was another positive factor.

More importantly, I had a great impression of the people I met during the interviews — including the president — and I thought, “I definitely want to work with this team.”

It’s great to take on new challenges, but a company that values you for your existing experience and skills leaves a lasting impression. It made me feel, “I really want to give my best here.”

The company name will be announced on LinkedIn next week — I look forward to reconnecting with you all again then.
