On the path to a better life

Fri Feb 1, 2008, 12:20 AM
Well, I've made my first big break in the search for a better job and life. I'll be starting Feb. 4 doing support for all things Adobe and I'm excited. Gone are the days of saying,"Do you want fries with that?" or ," How many in your party?" Now it's all about skills and performance and I may even move up the ladder based on what I can do. I know it's a crazy concept. I'm also doing a number of freelance ventures, perhaps the biggest being a huge mural for a bar down the street. I find that the more you go out there applying for work and ask for what you want the more you'll receive. Sure, you have to show them what you can do but you have to want it and show them how interested you are. Sometimes enthusiasm will get more results than a little extra thing on the resume because you were more excited than the other guy.
So continue to dream big and take the steps today to get you down the road. I know it might seem like there's no room in the field you want but I'm telling you there's always a way in. Even if you have to start at the bottom making less than you'd expect. Show them what you can do and you'll be out of the mail room and into the designer's circle. Happy hunting, now I'm back to R & D on my game.
