Woohoo!
So here's the story. I recently got onto LinkedIn.com. It's the lovely little networking site, where you can find people you either went to school with or worked with. Well I found one of my buddies who graduated from AI like three or four quarters ago, I'm sure some of my friends know him, Sean Reilly is his name
. I was just shooting a "hello, wondering if you remember me" type email and he's all "Hells yea! I do" and told me about a job opening at his work. Wondering if I was interested and whatnot. Which of course I was, working part-time at Borders is not something I want to keep on doing. So my buddy setups a interview for Tuesday (today) and said all I had to bring was my resume and have my website good to go!
So I spent my Sunday and Monday working on my site. When my interview rolls along Sean gives me a tour of this AMAZING building. Seriously this place looks like something out of X-Men, like the new Cerebro. I took pictures don't worry!
Well anyway, my boss Marco comes in and we do a tiny interview and I begin my three tests and would you believe I have to do it on a MAC!!! HAHAHAHA
Yes I know. Those Mac bastards always seem to get in my way. ughh!
But I passed with good marks (HA HA MAC)! Then I showed him my website, he really loved my coloring work. After I went through that he showed my where I "might be" working. Then he's all "yea, you can have the job if you want it. All you have to do is wait for the new equipment I ordered for your workstation." I was like "OKAY!!!"
So YAY, I now work 40 hours a week at the Oakley Headquarters with Sean Reilly.
I'm soo excited!
Though it's in Lake Forest which is kind of far for me (living an hour away). But I don't have to be there till like 10am so that's great for missing traffic.
Here's a picture of the front office.
Where they have meetings (this picture and more can be found on their website)
So along with working there, I'll be keeping up with my freelance work that I've been doing.
I'm very happy right now. Now I can finally say "I don't work at Borders!" lol Just kidding that company was good to me.
Oh and check out the Oakley website at www.oakley.com
