first job!

Like hell. Who would have thought? After months of gnashing my teeth and tearing out my hair out of sheer frustation, I finally have a job!

I got hired today right after the interview. Either they badly need a new staff or they just hire the first person who came along, but I couldn't care less. The company fucking hired me! And that's all that matters to me right now.

So. The details. My position title is Customer Sales Engineer. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what I'm supposed to do--sell the company's products. Pretty absurd for an antisocial like me, ayt? But that's actually the beauty of it.

I want the job because it is a challenge in more ways than one--the first obviously because I have no prior experience in sales or in any other job anywhere. More importantly, it requires me to step out of my comfort zone. And when I say step out, I don't mean tiny little steps. Rather, long purposeful strides. To do my job effectively, I need to get over my seemingly innate antisocial tendencies and pluck the courage somewhere to convince people to buy from me. Meaning, I not only earn from the job, I also learn from it. A great deal, whichever way you look at it.

I am so looking forward to finally start training then working. Although of course, I still have to find a place to stay and accomplish all the necessary documents before I could actually start. But those are just minor details. The important thing is I now have a purpose to anchor me and keep me from drifting like before.

Thank You God.
