Friday 20th April Day 50
So my job as
a street fundraiser ended yesterday and I was walking down Eddy Avenue heading
towards the shops. Eddy Avenue is a busy
street in Sydney and is a hot spot for fundraisers. I have been stopped here by fundraisers
before which is how I got into this whole fundraising thing and today was no
different.
Come for an interview
First person
to stop me was some blonde girl; I could tell it was her first or second
day. We had a brief conversation when a
guy called Alex came up to us. I have
spoken to Alex before, he is a recruiter for the fundraising company and told
me that they were interviewing on Monday.
Their office was
literally just around the corner from my house but I never really liked the
look of this company. For a fundraising
company they seem a bit cold and soulless.
I wasn’t massively interested but I still felt like I had learned a lot
about fundraising but had not been given the opportunity to put my new skills
to the test.
I will make you good
I left these
guys with fundraising on the mind again.
I would like one last go at it, but I wanted to work for the company I
had just left. Those guys were awesome!
It was then when
I was stopped by a guy I recognised from the fundraising company I had just
left. He was a very friendly and
energetic guy and he greeted me like a good friend. I explained what had happened between me and
the company but I also added that I felt like I had learnt a lot. He suggested I come back and work for
him. I didn’t think this was possible
but he explained that he leads his own department so I would work under him and
that would be allowed.
He said, “Come
work for me, I will make you good”. He
will make me good eh? Okay, if he
insists. I liked the look of this guy;
he had so much energy.
He invited me
to a training day on Monday, I didn’t even have to go to an interview, just
straight to the training day.
Charmed
I guess this
is just what I wanted; another chance to work for this wacky and amazing
fundraising company. I wanted to have
one last crack at fundraising but only with this company. And now I can...
Sometimes I
think I live a charmed life J
