It seems like every week that goes by confirms in some way that this is where I need to be.
It's been a rough few weeks since Fluor announced they were moving their Headquarters to Dallas, TX. So many people are scramblin' around to find new jobs before the layoffs start happening. Or they're tryin' to cement their position within the company so that they can move with all the Executives. To them I say, "Don't hold your breath." Anyhoo. I, the lowly Executive Assistant who has only been here for a couple of months, quickly realized it was imperative for me to find another position somewhere in South Orange County very soon.
POOF! In walks Advent. Or in I walk into Advent, rather. Or Kim, who already walked into Advent, walks into me.
Okay, let me back up. A few weeks ago, I was complaining about my unusually stressful day at work when my friend Kim said, "Hey, I think my company is looking for an Office Manager-ish kind of gal...you interested?" I jumped at the chance to submit my resume. Luckily, Kim gave me a great recommendation and I got the job! Even better, the position ended up being for a Contract Manager...not an Office Manager. Good enough. So, I don't have a ton of Construction experience...okay, I don't have ANY is more like it...but I think I can tackle this. I'm excited to go to work for this company. They are growing very quickly and I think this is a great time to jump into the fray. We'll see how it goes but I feel really blessed to be given this opportunity.
I feel kind of bad because I had another position lined up within Fluor that I was supposed to begin after the 4th of July holiday but I'm starting at Advent the 1st of July. But I do think it was time for me to leave Fluor. It was a great few years and I am so grateful for the experience I had but it's time for me to move into a career track. Yay! Advent, here I come!
Thanks, Kim! And we love you Advent...wherever you are!
