After a night and day of celebrating my job offer, today I had the fantastic task of giving my acceptance speech.
How I pictured it...
I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my mother, my late father, my husband, my children, my brothers, my law professors, and all of the people who prayed that this day would come.
I am humbled by your offer of employment, and honored to join such an esteemed team of lawyers.
It is with great joy that I accept your offer, and I look forward to joining your organization in the very near future...
How it happened...
Phone rings. I ask receptionist to speak with hiring partner. She tells me he is on another call, and connects me to his voicemail. I put on my best enthusiastically professional tone and calmly tell him how excited I am to be joining the firm and that I will get back to him with a start date as soon as possible. The end.
Tomorrow I give notice to my current employer. Stay tuned for the reaction.
