It must be a papa thing, because I cannot imagine you as anything but a pro fashionista. </p> <p>Kari, I am rooting for you like crazy!!</p> <p>K, that is a heartening story. Talking to a few people at work, I see that most are planning to move into other fields. Hopefully, they will need a few like me to stick around and move up! The welcome video says they do, lol. </p> <p>:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/3#post-752468 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:03:16 +0000 Lyn D. 752468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saw this- CONGRATULATIONS and well done!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/3#post-752436 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:34:56 +0000 bj1111 752436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>late to the party, but still celebrating!!!</p> <p>wheeeeeeeeeee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/3#post-752208 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:13:07 +0000 K. Period. 752208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm joining in on this late, but I just had to post to congratulate you! That is fantastic news!!! Nordstrom is a wonderful company to work for (I say having worked for a number of retailers throughout college). </p> <p>Just fyi, one of my friends started at Nordstrom as a teen working the espresso bar. He became the store manager and was store manager for many years before he left the company for other opportunities That's impressive! Promotion from within requires a real commitment to your employees, and a real confidence in every person you hire. </p> <p>With your drive, charm and style, I will not be surprised at all to see you moving up into personal styling with them and onward and upward from there! Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/3#post-752021 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:50:08 +0000 Debora 752021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Rae!!!

Your persistence is inspiring! Many congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-751405 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 19:38:40 +0000 Angie 751405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bless our Papas, Rae. We don't love them any less. My Papa would have LOVED me to be a doctor, accountant or engineer. That would have made him most happy. But he doesn't love me any less for being in the Rag Trade for 20 years </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-751065 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:20:41 +0000 rae 751065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I will be on the sales floor. Personal shopper is a larger goal that I am working toward. </p> <p>Marianna, your "insider info" continues to be invaluable. I am feeling great about prospects for the future. Some companies, you go in and everyone tells you how they like to trap you in a position so that they don't have to bother replacing you... </p> <p>Carole, no, I left the bank in August. I have been very happy with the decision - and so much more relaxed!</p> <p>I just want to give all of you another big, virtual hug for your kind words and support - I told my dad where I will be working last night, and let's just say he is less than impressed. He is okay with me leaving banking but seems to think I ought to be a fashion designer, and that I should be producing pieces in China and selling them at Macy's by now... :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750903 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 07:53:14 +0000 Suz 750903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm late to this news because I was in transit, but may I just say, in the nicest way possible, I TOLD YOU SO!!!???!!! </p> <p>I KNEW this was the right direction for you to go, and I am stickin' by it! </p> <p>Congratulations, and happy learning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750818 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 04:28:40 +0000 cciele 750818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy for you Rae -- congrats! They are lucky to have you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750656 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 01:28:29 +0000 D'Ellen 750656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I'm not surprised!

They are so lucky to have you. Are you still working at the bank? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750364 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:50:03 +0000 Irene 750364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750048 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:29:28 +0000 Kat 750048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations and Cheers on your great news!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-750039 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:20:24 +0000 marianna 750039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, it is a HUGE step being "accepted" within the company... at any level. Nordies promotes from within and it's pretty easy to transfer stores (I've worked at 3) so I have no doubt you'll be working at the full line eventually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749917 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 05:26:48 +0000 ramya 749917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Rae!!""""hugs"""'''' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749910 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 04:46:14 +0000 anne 749910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae that is super good news!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749890 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 04:02:14 +0000 Nadya 749890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my first reaction was "squee!" But that's not professional enough for such an auspicious occasion, so I'll go with congratulations! I think there are a lot of benefits to picking a company that fits you and then working your way to your career goals. I think you and Nordstrom will be a good fit! They are lucky to have someone so motivated, creative and knowledgable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749863 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:11:32 +0000 Debbie 749863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749823 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:31:58 +0000 Deborah 749823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae well done. I know others have said it but it bears repeating, they are lucky to have you. Forgive my ignorance but Ive had trouble keeping up Is this a sales role or personal shopper....either way its such a great step for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-got-it/page/2#post-749816 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:28:03 +0000 Ariadne 749816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NO WAY! I'm so happy for you, Rae! Much luck and may this be the start of something fabulous beyond your wildest dreams. </p>
