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 – One Door Closes – Another Door Opens

Hey Kids it’s Dad, and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you a little bit about 2016. 2016 was A good year. A lot of learning, a lot of change. Change makes us stronger. When one door closes, another door opens. I’ve had some wonderful opportunities in 2016. A couple great jobs. Sadly one job job ended. All out of my control. I’ve had some amazing opportunities come since I’ve been laid off. The Lord has watched over the Clifford family. Tom Clifford’s network has come out in spades. So many great people have come to help. Jobs and opportunities have come out of the woodwork. I’m thankful for each and every person who is reached out to us. We had an amazing Christmas. Was it easy? No it was not. But that makes us stronger.

Had an amazing job offer come in yesterday. I’m super excited. It’s a part-time gig, but it’s going allow me to grow. And last night a couple other possibilities formed. Don’t know where they are going – – but it will be fun to watch. I am very blessed.

Just remember, when one door closes, another door opens up wider and brighter. I’m so excited to be a part of 2017 and for the amazing things that are in store for the Clifford family!

TommyLog – Look for Hidden Opportunities

You never know! You just never know when or where you will make a difference. I had to DJ a young adult dance this weekend at church. I didn’t want to do it, but I did it anyways and I had the BEST opportunity to leaved a mark.

I had the best chat with an old friend and I know I touched his life. He certainly touched mine. I guess the opportunity waits for no one…
