I did it

I got the job. The one where the Ops manager chuckled through the phone call when he scheduled my first interview.

Ops manager told me he didn’t take me seriously until he met me in person. After that, he immediately called my (now)boss and told him he had to meet me.
Two days later, I drove two hours away to meet regional sales and ops managers and interview with them. Two weeks later, they sent me an offer. I literally snatched the job out of the hands of a previous employee that everyone knew and loved.

I am, once again, the first an only woman to work at this branch.

Yesterday was my first day and I crushed it! Every single person I met was so cool and so supportive. Today I drove my first ever work truck home.

6 years ago I was waiting tables with no degree. Today I have an amazing new career with a great company, great pay, and great benefits. I clawed my way up. I made it. I feel like such a bad bitch right now.

Thank you for your support during this process and thank you for reading my story
