First Interview---Checkk!!

Today was awesome! I get a little too excited sometimes about things and then they turn out to be not quite as cool as I think at first, but hey, I'm an excitable person I guess and life has its ups and downs. I think that's what ADD is, being easily interested/excited and easily disinterested as well.

So I had lunch with an hermano today that does Consulting, oh my goodness it was great! He is a really sharp guy, about 35 years or so. Anyway he asked me about all of my experiences on my resume for like 20 minutes or so. I don't think I ever had anyone as interested in my experiences as much as he was.

Anyway, he was impressed! He actually offered me a pretty sweet job --consulting. He wants me to go to an important meeting with his socio (partner) a couple of hours away next week to help give a presentation about what kind of Strategic consulting that "we" do for small and medium size companies. There will be a lot of important government and business people there from what I understand and I think I get like 20 minutes to speak!

This could be huge, because he has a sweet "in" with the secretary of state over the economy in the state of Veracruz (another state like nevada) and the government will pay 50-70% of the consulting fees. Anyway, his consulting business appears to be taking off as the company will be recommended and the sales should be easy.

So I'm pretty excited about that. He seems to be very well connected here and his partner (also a member of the church) even more so. Anyway, I'm really interested in what he is doing and really think that I'll take him up on his offer.

I get to do some training with him on Saturday. La unica cosa que no se puede ahora es recibir pagos, hasta que ya vaya empezando el negocio. Pero cuando yo haga ventas y luego se crezca la compania y haya asesores (consultants) bajo mi mando (ojala), voy a tener un buen sueldo como base tambien. Basically that means in english: commission only for a while and then a nice fat base check when things take off along with healthy commissions. He'd like me to be a manager over like 10 consultants when this takes off. But one step at a time eh like some paperwork and getting to know the gig before I actually start for real!

Anyway, I need to keep a level head about this all. I also need to make sure that I remember to let my personality that I have in English, shine in Spanish as well. Sometimes I'm a little quieter or more shy in Spanish. But I do feel like I'm up for the challenge.
