Summer Plans

With the tv season winding down and students taking final exams, as pesky insects start to come out and the days are longer, it can only mean one thing...summer is here!!! (well not offically here, it comes in like a month, but play along for my intro/lead in, it was either this or taa daa).

And now, without further ado....my summer plans. I'm working for my beloved non-descript airlines -in Recruiting!!!! Yay!!!! I'm so excited, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to be doing for the summer (not necessarily with beloved non-descript airline, any airline would have worked). As an HR professional, Recruiting is the big thing I've been missing from my HR resume and now I'll be getting it!!! Plus there is a lot of travel involved (at company expense, schwing!). So Virginia Gal not only gets to do something she wants, live at home (rent-free) but travel as well - woohoo!

Mind you this all happened recently - as late as a month ago, I was sadly depressed, having heard nothing from any of the internship places I had applied, or getting outright rejected. I felt like such an MBA loser - especially when it is understood that MBA's, who are not already full timed employed, should be doing an internship for the summer.

I emailed a friend from beloved non-descript airline asking if she had any leads on jobs, anything at the airport, four weeks later, she emailed me back, turns out she had been promoted to head of East Coast Recruiting and wanted to know if I would like to join her team for the summer....a faster, "hell yeah" could not have been uttered.

So I'm very excited and thanks to all for their well-wishes, my 11th hour miracle came true!
