New Job!

I started my new job on Monday and I have been training, training & training since then!

This first week I've just been working part time doing training, which has helped with the transition from being a stay at home self wedding planner to a grown up working woman. :)

I am a staffing specialist for Manpower. This position is very similar to what I was doing in College Station, minus the parts that I did not like. I work in an actual Manpower office, with coworkers who do the same job that I do. It is so nice to have people who work with me for the same company that I do. There are only three of us in the office right now, but we are in the growing phase (which is what helped me get hired! whoop!). My boss is Chris, and he has been with Manpower in Mobile for about a year. He is out of the office a lot trying to find more business. He works directly with the clients (which means I don't have to WHOOP again!). The other staffing specialist is Abbey. She is a little bit older than me and she is 6 months pregnant and super nice! We have a great time chatting during down times and lunch. So fun to have a new friend! Chris & Abbey are from Tennessee and they both went to Tennessee so they are big college football fans like me! Just for a school who wears orange...at least its not quite burnt orange.

Like I said, this week I've just been training. I have been going through a lot of training modules online which have been really helpful. I know a lot of what I have been going over since I was staffing in College Station, but I'm learning a lot about Manpower's systems.

Overall, I really like it so far. Its only been 4 days, but it is going well. I am excited to see what happens once I am done with training and start working the actual job with the recruiting and staffing (the parts I love!). So that's about it! If you have any questions about any specifics I left out, let me know! I'll keep everybody updated on the progress of the job and of our office!

Love you all & thank you for the prayers & well wishes! I have a job! WHOOP!
