So I am at the end of the interview process for a job at U of M. It's an assistant director of major gifts position with the central office of development.
It's the real deal. It's a big deal.
They want to support the internship program that I'm in, so they asked a bunch of the graduated interns if they wanted to apply. And we did. Because who wouldn't want a sweet, early-career (as opposed to entry-level) job with great pay and benefits?
But the thing is, I actually think I would be really good at this job. I think that development is something that really fits me, at least for now.
A major gift officer listens to people with a lot of money who are volunteering to give that money away. A major gift officer educates those people on what they might want to give their money to. And coordinates the people with money, the UM people, and anyone in between.
So, excited beyond belief for a real job. Scared out of my mind to get a real job. Is this the end of life as I know it? Denise says it's better, living life this way. I don't know about that, I had a pretty great time in college.
The only thing I know for sure is that I don't know anything for sure. And the second thing I know for sure is that I love a super-great guy.
The biggest reason I want this job is because if I got it, I would get to stay in Ann Arbor and have the best roommate I've ever had in my life.
And I wouldn't have to apply for any more jobs.
