JOB!!!

I mentioned in my last post that I got some good news last week while on spring break...

Well here it is...I GOT A JOB!!

I had a phone interview with TBG Partners in Dallas almost three weeks ago.  They called me back a couple days later and said that they wanted me to fly to Dallas to meet everyone, see the office, and have an on-site interview.  I flew to Dallas on Thursday, the day before spring break started, and met with everyone.  The interview went great.  I got to meet most everyone in the office and see how the office environment works.  Tuesday of last week, while I was at home on spring break, I got a call from TBG saying they wanted to officially offer me a job.  I got the job offer and officially accepted it on Monday.
So, I will be heading to Dallas in the middle of June to start my professional career.  After Sara completes her field work and we get married in November she will be coming to Dallas and a whole new chapter of life will begin.  I am extremely excited to have landed a job before graduating.  I am the first one in my class to officially have a job.  The job market for landscape architects still isn't great but definitely on the rise.  TBG Partners is an excellent firm that does a lot of great work in Texas and beyond.  They have offices in Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.  My office in Dallas has about fifteen people in currently.  I extremely excited about this opportunity and can't wait to get there and get settled with Sara.
