Deirdre has landed

Not sure you've all known, but I was with Exelon Corporation when you met me, was a contractor at Siemens Medical this summer, and recently landed what I call - a "real job".

First, I accepted the Manager of Organizational Development & Training position at Acme Corporate office in Wayne, PA. Don't get excited, no food discount because........ well I'm going.
I will call next week and tell them - just KIDDING - I'm not coming! (ouch, ugly not looking forward to that call)

What??

SEI in Oaks, PA offered me a "position" (they don't have titles, see this month's Philly Magazine). I strongly believe in taking the best of people's potential and love companies that are creative, flexible and appreciate their employees - well, though I can't believe I made the decision on Acme then renig'd on a job with a great title, I'm really happy with my decision. Plus SEI's off the perkiomen creek, has a gym, a month vacation and has flexible work schedules!

I'm starting after "Tofurkey Day" (which is what we veggies call the holiday) on 11/26.
Wish me rots-r-ruck!

Congratulations! When should we start sending you our resumes?

Congratulations Deirdre! And good luck! That company seems to fit right in line with your lifestyle. Having the bike path right there, you'll be a biking machine before you know it...more than you already are.

I'm curious. What does SEI do?

Congratulations, Dierdre.

I echo what Chuck said...

Have you figured out what to say when Acme matches the other company?

Hi!

Finally back to the site!
Yes, send resumes but to the web site and let me know if a position looks interesting! www.seic.com
Yes, once the weather gets nice (most likely spring) I'll be biking to work or right after work.
I'm keeping up with my every week day morning - pre work work out at the gym at SEI. Amazing, they supply towels and I have a locker so it's painless, just need to throw on wkout clothes and pack the days outfit. I strongly recommend it! I feel great, but the scales's not telling the story since I'm lifting weights. We all are familiar with that!
