I GOT A NEW JOB! Which is very exciting! My current job/the one I am quitting was more of a relaxed crazy schedule but my new job is more of an adult 9-5 thing which I am super excited about! To me the worst part of getting a new job is the quitting of the current job, my stepdad believes the opposite that its the best part. I just feel like I'm letting them down by leaving. I was nervous to hand in my two weeks but everyone has been pretty supportive and happy for me which makes me feel great!
For this new job the dress code is business casual which I surprisingly don't own a lot of. I've had jobs where you've dressed business casual but I think I need to buy a bunch of new clothes. I have a week to create this new work wardrobe. Maybe I will post some pictures of my purchases and outfit ideas then you can tell me whether it's nice or I should return.
With a new job you also get to reinvent yourself. For example, I'm pretty shy when you first meet me then I become more outspoken but with this new job I can change that. Or perhaps you can change your look. Always wanted to go from blonde to brunette? Now would be the chance although that is not what I want or am going to do, just an example. I know two people who work at my new job. One is someone who I went to high school with and the other is someone I use to work with but we weren't that close.
I am really excited to start this promotions marketing journey and hope you stick with me as I fill you in with details of getting prepared and my first day (scary!)! Any advice for starting a new job or what is an essential in a business casual wardrobe?
