I guess I only feel like posting something when my life is in a state of flux!
I'm starting a new job on the 28th, which is only funny because I started the job I'm leaving in November 2010. I am however very excited to start the new one, which is much more in line with my capabilities and what I really want to do.
I'm going to work for Ryerson, Inc. They're the third largest metal distribution company in North America by revenue. I will be responsible for maintaining and improving the accounts receivable portfolio for plants in Fresno, CA, Livermore, CA, Portland, OR and Spokane, WA. This is a HUGE update in responsibility from what I've dealt with in the past. I have all the skills and knowledge necessary for the job, but it's still a little scary.
I feel as though with this new job I've finally achieved something. I've worked very hard to get where I am and it's finally starting to pay off. My being the youngest CCE in the country helped me immensely here, as I'm the only credit analyst employed by the company without a bachelor's degree. I WILL have a degree, but the fact that I was able to convince them I was the right person for the job without one is telling of the skills I've acquired over the years. It also doesn't hurt that I know the industry already LOL.
In any case, the new job does come with more money.... I'm now trying to make plans to pay down debt and eventually buy a house or something. The house isn't that important. I love my apartment, which I could already afford and I'm just really excited to have some breathing room. This is especially important because I should get my credit cards paid off just in time to start paying students loans - awesome right? I figure I might as well throw as much money as I can at debt so that I'm in a comfortable position when my student loans come due. I work in finance, I should be able to figure something out :-)
I'm also excited about this new job because I'll actually be around people! At ProBuild they sat me on the 6th floor next to no one and didn't introduce me to anyone. It also didn't help that my "team" was all on the East Coast. That coupled with recently transitioning to living alone has made me feel very isolated and sort of lonely. I love living alone, but I'm WAY too social to be alone all day, every day.
Until next time... BYE!
