Back to Work...

Today was day one on a six week, on-site web design contract. It's a gig that I didn't think I was going to land, either. I went to the interview in my worn jeans, ripped sneakers, and faded fedora. Plus, when asked if I would want a full-time position down the road, should it be offered, I hesitated and was honest about my real profession and why I was in LA: to develop and produce television and animated content.

So, I was a bit surprised when my creative staffing agency told me that they were checking references. I was even more aghast when the call came in that I was set to start this week. Surely, there must have been a mistake, but I had been praying for God to provide some emergency income and this gig was clearly the answer to that inquiry.

As I was working with the other web developer today, I couldn't help but ask him what caused them to pick me out of the half-dozen I was told they were looking at.

"Honestly," he said, "after you left, I told them to stop looking at anyone else and hire you. You have the qualifications and know what you are doing. I could tell you would get the job done."

I was taken aback by that, but only slightly. I've gotten compliments before from people after I had finished their sites, plus I get feedback of that sort constantly regarding my producing, but I had gone into that interview literally not caring and trusting God to take care of His will in His way. Apparently, he did.
