A New Job Breeds A New Category

When the phone rang on Monday, I was positive that it was my mom calling to help me draft an email to Motorola asking if they had made a decision about the summer internship position I had applied for; after all, she had just sent me an email about it. Instead it was Mary, a recruiter for Motorola. She wanted to know if I was still interested in the internship. Of course I was.

It's a nice feeling. After a couple weeks where it seemed that nothing was really going the way that I'd like it to, here is a pretty big win. And it's amazing how it seemed to have sparked a pretty nice week, too.

Over the next four months, I imagine that the Motorola category will expand at a rate comparable to the experiences I have while working there. Check them out, comment, discuss amongst yourselves.
