Progress?

Saw Elton John/Billy Joel at Gillette this past weekend. Went down on a bus with nearly 50 people. Epic times. One of the better live shows I've seen. I suggest you check it out.

Applied for two positions in the past few days. Not just applied for the sake of applying, but I am actually interested in the positions. The first of which is a sales position, a higher end position, like I've been looking for. I know 5 employees at this company. Should at least be able to get an interview, right?

The second is a bit different. It's a non-sales role. Marketing Analyst to be exact. And whadya know, I was a marketing major in college. Though my experience has been predominantly in sales (which falls under the marketing category), I do possess some basic marketing knowledge. Anyway, the position seems great, with tremendous upward mobility, and the opportunity to present in front of "senior level execs". Get me in front of a room full of senior level execs, and look out, the possibilities may be endless. However, only if they have personalities. Also know 4 people who work there. Large company, so not sure how that whole systems works...but we shall see.

So, why don't we keep our fingers crossed here for the time being, and see what the near future holds for one Mr. Utley...

  2. you're right Ted. The fact that I applied to two jobs that I believe I would like after 6 months is mailing it in. Thanks for the support!
