Two Week Notice

I had my interview with the husband and wife Realtor team, Cliff and Laura, at London Properties this morning. I walked in their office and they said they wanted to hire me already. Laura, said she had been thinking about getting a part time assistant and thought about the qualities she wanted which included having a real estate license, notary commission, real estate background, some Spanish speaking abilities, and who could work from about 9 to 1 Monday through Friday. She went into their recruiter's office and told her that she was looking for an assistant, and it happened to be the very day I sent them an e-mail fishing for a job. Laura told me how impressed she was with my resume and how happy she was that I met all of their specifications.

They went on to talk about how they believe in putting family first and that everything else comes second. They told me that my schedule is flexible and that I can even put in hours at home in addition to working in the office or in lieu of working in the office if I need to stay home that day for any reason. I can also pick up more money by hosting open houses on the weekends if I need to, but it's completely optional. Everything they said was exactly what I was looking for, and everything about me was exactly what they needed. Everything just fell in line perfectly. I had prayed that the spirit would confirm in my heart that this was the right job for me and I had an overwhelming feeling of warmth in my chest the whole time.

I gave my verbal two week notice to my bosses this morning. When I talked to my boss Gary about my experience, even he knew it was no coincidence that the moment I decided to put my family first, all the doors were opened for me, but for some reason I am still having to muster up some courage to hand them my actual letter of resignation. Even though I am sure I am making the right decision, I am still taking a big leap into new territory. I will be working as an independent contractor, monitoring my own income, taxes, and expenses- which I have no experience doing. This experience has definitely been a test of my faith and a strength to my testimony.
