i have an internship.
!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!
hehe, in a little over a week, i will officially be a PR and communications intern at habitat for humanity nyc.
i went in for an interview yesterday and they offered it to me on the spot, which i immediately accepted.
BUT it's unpaid, part time position..
so i will be interning part time and working part time, and if i can't make ends meet, probably will be picking up something on the side if i can find.
so anyways there's a small story behind this
i've seen the posting for this position since like..3 months ago..maybe more
but i never wanted to apply for it because it was unpaid
for some reason though, the very first time i saw the posting on the website, i knew that i would be able to get the position
(i promise i'm not saying this out of hindsight)
and the posting stayed for the whole 3 months and i guess no one was hired
yet, as time passed and i became more *ahem* desperate... i decided to apply
they called for interview, i went in
the moment i started to talk to the interviewing people, i knew i had the job
God was just telling me, this one is yours and I've been saving it for you this whole time
even the interview lady kept saying that i was exactly what they wanted and it was such a good match
so when they finally told me they wanted me on board, i accepted right away
a part of me want to say no thanks because it's non paying, but at the same time i couldn't let it go because i felt like this position was made for me
the job entails crazy learning opportunities too
their entire communications department consists of 2 people and 3 now including me
i'll be doing newsletters, press conferences, press releases, web development, event planning, and more!!
and of course i've been really interested in housing policy and so i'll be getting a lot of experience with learning about code regulations and urban planning and city development
i'm so excited
but more, i'm so grateful
i've been so stressed about this whole future and job thing
but it was already made out and planned a long ago for me
i'm so happy!!!praise God!
and that is my update
hopefully i can post more often now that i am not job stressing as much anymore
