I Didn’t Get the Job!

Hey kids, it’s Dad. For today’s Tommylog I want to talk to you about something really great that happen before Thanksgiving. I had the opportunity to apply for a newly opened team lead position at ESKO. I was scared to throw my hat in the ring but I did it. The process was amazing. I was taken seriously the minute I mentioned it to my boss. I talk to my boss in the hiring manager. I even got to have a face-to-face second interview with the hiring manager. What an amazing process. It’s great to work for a company that looks internally for great people and wants to capitalize, showcase and nurture talent.

I didn’t get the job. But that’s OK! The real win here is the fact that I was taken seriously. The management at ESKO knows I’m interested in growth opportunities. They know I don’t want to be a screw turner the rest of my life. They listen to my ideas and I’m excited about the future. The guy who got the job is absolutely spectacular and I couldn’t be more happy for him. I support him 100%.

The people at ESKO are on notice!

Tommy is coming and he’s looking for more responsibility and the opportunity to manage people. I’m thrilled for the doors that are opening up for me.

TommyLog – Never Stop Learning

Today I had the opportunity of participating in a mock interview process for some students at NWTC.  What a great experience that was. To be part of the process and to help with their learning and progression…amazing.

It was awesome to meet these kids, some of them were not kids–well some almost as old as I, and see they were still learning and growing and wanting to better their careers.

What  a blessing it was to be a part of that event.

Never stop learning!

Challenge the Norms

Tommy got some amazing news on Friday challenging the norms in which he was brought up to believe. This last year since the birth of baby Drew has been amazing. First the news report, then a public speaking gig with Red Shoes PR and the Fox Cities Chamber. Who would have thought the potential of a poor boy form Rochester, NY… :)~
