My hope had been when I launched realworldreally.com this past January to write as much about my personal journey through Life After College as I did about general news, tips & tricks to mastering the “real world”. So, with that in mind: I’m planning on writing an expose, of sorts, over the next few weeks on all facets of what it’s like to eventually leave your first job after graduation - covering everything from looking for a new job while still employed (and accepting the new job), to giving your two-week’s notice at your current job, to the highs and lows of transitioning to a new employer, job and career.

On a personal note, as you probably guessed from the above paragraph, I’ve accepted a new job. I’ll be leaving my current job in advertising sales on August 7th to take a job as an Admissions Councilor for a nearby college (fitting, dontcha think?). While my job in sales was a great first job out of college and sales is a very important skill set to have in whatever industry I go into throughout life, after 13 grinding months it was simply time to move on; time to find something I could be a little more passionate about.

So there you have it. Keep your eyes peeled to Real World Really for the upcoming step-by-step guide to switching careers; wish me luck.
