I am officially employed

I do realize that I have not posted in a while. I have a good excuse though.

About a month ago, my contact from iVillage (I managed that relationship at Sympatico/MSN) sent me a work-related question. I directed her to the right people and informed her that I was already in London. She told me that I should consider the London branch of iVillage. I had nothing to lose, so I sent her my resume.

A day later I got a call. Two more interviews later I got an offer.

I am officially employed by NBC Universal (General Electric really) as the Business Development & Marketing Manager for iVIllage UK. Best part? They will be sponsoring me after my Working Holidaymaker is up.

Things I love about my new job already:
- The office is on New Oxford Street about 5 minutes away from TopShop and 5 minutes away from Soho.
- I get to work for an honest to goodness international media company.
- Five weeks holiday.
- iVillage actually produces it's own content.

I am very excited about this turn in events and start my new job on Monday, November 5.

Yikes!
