I just finished my second week of this Spring Semester today and so far so good. I had a job opportunity today but unfortunately I was too late to the punch. My Business Advisor always emails the Business students when an outside business person is inquiring any and all help from students with anything. Today a Real Estate Broker from Lower Michigan was in need of some help from one of the students. He has a client who lives in my town who needed to relocate to a different commercial unit and he wanted someone who was local to be his "eyes and ears" since he lives 10 hours away. I was sooo excited when I read this. I immediately responded positively and I believed that I would be so good for this task. I have 5 years in the apartment management and rental business with two of the years being at a professional level; including many ties to commercial property owners. With my experience I know that I would be able to deliver top notch performance for the Real Estate Broker. Unfortunately two hours later my advisor emailed me back and said these three words "Position is filled." I actually felt pretty defeated and down on myself for the rest of the day!
This experience did teach me a great lesson though. I need to be quicker to the punch and I cannot let refusal get be down. There will be many experiences in my life when I will be beat out by someone else but I just need to keep positive and I will get the next one!! :)
