Leaping off the high board
Welcome to the first day of the next chapter of my life. The previous chapter that I have finally closed is the one during which I identified myself as a college student and then as a post graduate with a college student mentality! In that time I have moved back to my hometown (Mechanicsburg, PA) and had the wonderful opportunity of interning at The JDK Group.
It has been hard for me to leave behind that part of my life because it affected me to such a great extent. I learned to be independent, confident in my abilities and excited for the future. Now the time has come for me to "grow up" so to speak and start living as an adult and someone who is ready to face the challenges of the workplace.
From today I am focused on my new job at NAI / CIR (a commercial real estate firm) and how that big change will affect me as a person and as a young career professional. It is exciting and scary because there is so much opportunity for me to grow and learn.
I plan to be a cool, confident sponge my first few weeks, absorbing every bit of information. A former boss once told me, "Write everything down, it shows that you have initiative and that you care." So as my first official task as a career professional, I went out and bought a moleskin-type notebook. As for my second task, I started reading the book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" by Robert Cialdini, recommended by my friend Elisha.
Diving headfirst into the icy waters of commercial real estate. Wish me luck!
