Marianna’s goals: 9th Sept

Angie (website)

I *love* your chutspa. The vigour with which you’re tackling your goals and then some is AMAZING. I love how you’ve sorted out your references and applied for that event planning Macy’s job anyway. Don’t ask, you don’t get! Well done, Marianna!

Your goals today:

o Figure out volunteer stuff – we can guide if you like. I'm actually volunteering the whole day today.

o Create a professional blog!

o Go back to the Rack – there is new stuff coming in all the time. You should be able to get a suit there eventually.

Good luck!

Sounds good!

Last night I went ahead and checked out some classes at the local community college and was surprised to find an event planning class (and a green event planning class, and then an advanced event planning class too!). The class schedules were down last night but I need to see what time it's offered and see if it will fit into my schedule. The fees seem reasonable. Since I already have a B.A. and don't need to follow pre-reqs necessarily, I'd love to just jump into the advanced event planning class and really get my feet wet.

I'm going to work on a blog today too. I like the goal idea you have going for me and it might be nice to start documenting my "post-grad search" in a blog.

And going to the Rack is a pleasure, so I'll do that as well. :)

Good news! I have an interview on Tuesday! It's for a Social Media Assistant and the job is to start a Facebook/Twitter/social media presence for a nonprofit as well as collaborate on an e-book project and events. It's an internship position but seems like it could be great experience... and maybe lead to a job?

I need a good suit!

Fantastic news, Marianna! It’s so great that you have an interview scheduled for Tuesday. And good thinking about documenting your daily progress on a blog. That in itself is motivating. I hope you sign up for those event planning classes. They sound super.

Now the biggie: what are you going to wear for the interview?

I might use Inge's idea and wear the new houndstooth jacket and black trousers. I have lots of pretty flats but no heels... not sure if I can get away with flats with trousers? I'm heading to Nordstrom Rack soon so I'll look around there as well.

Oh WOW!!

Okay. Number one goal right now is to get outfit sorted. Have you been to Macys?

I'm super excited. The calls are starting to come in! :) The event planning one sounds ideal... I would probably learn a ton and the experience of planning an actual event would be priceless.

Haven't been to Macys yet... good idea! I have a few days to find a suit so I should be okay!
