Unexpectedly

A couple of weeks ago, I had a job interview that I really enjoyed. I told quite a few people already, but the reason why I enjoyed this interview was because the interview/owner of the company was really friendly, and our interview went more in the form of a conversation rather than an interview. I was able to explain why I quit my job - because I realized that I would rather have a job where I enjoy the work I do, and also that I like working with people and not secluding myself in a gloomy office all day. We also got talking about weddings and events coordination, because apparently he had done that quite a few times for his friends.

Which brings me to something that came quite unexpectedly several weeks after that interview. After the interview, I sent a thank you email and expressed that if he ever needed help with weddings or events in the future, that I would be happy to help out. So one day, I found an email from a lady that the interviewer had referred to me. She's getting married this summer in July and she is looking for an MC for her reception, she asked if I would consider being an MC or help her find one. I did try to look around, but as I couldn't find a suitable fit, I offered to be her MC.

This is just one of the many things that has happened recently, and has just made me a little in awe of life. Sometimes when everything seems to be against you, you can be surprised by all these little events that happen to you and it just may make things right for you.

Well at the moment, we have been communicating through email. I sent her a copy of an MC script that I had written for a wedding during my internship in 2006. I guess she was impressed because she wants to meet.

Although a date has been set yet, I've prepared a simple portfolio to show her...... yes I know it's a little hard sell.... but that's how to get my name out there! here are some snapshots of the portfolio...
