Having Potential Isn't Always a Bad Thing

Today was a good day.

Met with a potential employer and things turned out to be better than expected.

I recently posted an ad on craigslist for my services as an event planner. I got a response from a guy who is the CEO of an entertainment company. When I tried to research him, the only thing that came up was for an on-line gaming world. That was incorrect. He runs a music company!

Artists, TV, film, politics. Everything.

And he's looking for a personal assistant! That's much better than a one time deal planning an event!

Of course the only catch is salary. Because he doesn't have a lot of 'liquid assets', he can offer to 'make sure my gas tank is always full and some money in my pocket'. That's good enough for me.

I reassured him that I would rather work with a small company because I know I'll be treated as a human instead of a machine. He agreed.

The meeting was coming to an end, but he was determined to feed me. He took me a small eatery and bought me lunch. And introduced me to one of his partners.

He told me to think things over and call him on Saturday. I told him that he will definitely hear from me, and hopefully he'll be seeing me around.

I REALLY want this job I don't want to get too excited though. So, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and ask that you do the same. I NEED this job.
