She works hard for the money, so hard for it honey

Big news all....I gots me a new jobby-job!  :) 

As you may (or may not) know... my current job left me much to be desired.  I LOVE my manager, and my co-workers but quite honestly have been bored out my effing mind for MONTHS.  Mortgage is just a tough sell these days, I know the LO's are out there pounding the pavement, but it hasn't equated much work for me (other than printing color copies of fliers and such, as I'm the owner of the color printer).  FUN.  NOT. 

SO, with very little thought and effort, I applied for some new jobs - just throwing my resume out there, seeing it would snag any one's attention, just killing a little time. Well, it snagged a couple companies attention right away.  Yesssssssssssssssssssssss.  I mean, I guess that means my resume is impressive enough for a call back.  I'm concerned that my resume TENDS to be a little on the long side...and a little wordy.  So, of course it was a ego boost to get such a immediate response.  I applied for jobs for months and months while living in Cleveland trying to find something in Seattle, so it's good to know it was the fact that I lived out of state and not my work history.  

I want to avoid being TOO detailed.  So here is basically what I said via text to my girls: 

Opportunity #1:  Client Support Specialist with CB Richard Ellis
Had ad interview this AM.  I want it really bad.  They seem cool.  The office is awesome & I would be challenged.  They are young, and fun, and busy.  Little more $$....office is downtown (I could walk)... marketing and sales supporting commercial real estate brokers.

Opportunity #2:  Operations Administrative Assistant with Redfin
Other phone interview went well.....another cool company.....downtown..... I could wear jeans.... way more administrative.....another phone interview tomorrow....longer process.... Supporting CEO and Vice President. 

So my new position is a "Client Support Specialist" for CB Richard Ellis supporting 2 Commercial Real Estate Brokers (who look to be about my age) with sales support and Marketing.

I'm excited to be back downtown (and I can walk to work). The office overlooks the Sound and the Market. I'll be right downtown in the hustle and bustle, hopefully around young people so I can meet some people to hang with.

I resigned Monday and I start June 1st.
