Summer Midpoint Check
Hey everyone,
So this last week I had my midpoint review. Leading up to it I was crazy swamped with work wanting to make sure that I did the best I could before the review. The review ended up going really well, they have been quite pleased with my work and gave me the good checkbox. What this means is that I can start setting up interviews for full-time positions here, kinda scary huh?!?!? I don't know about you but I am so excited. I have learned so much and been able to have such an impact on the product so far and it only gets better. When looking ahead to the last six weeks we were trying to decide whether to have me explore one road or another. In my midpoint review my mentor and manager looked at me and said "well we've decided...and...were gonna do both". They thought I was handling the workload perfectly fine thus far and want to challenge me. This is great because it will only help me in the long run and give me more experience with quick beneficial decision making. We also talked about some cool stuff like how the decisions the VP's make is no different from those that I make only that they are on a larger scale. In fact Dave my mentor pointed out that all the VP's started out in a PM position learning these valuable decision making skills which helped them grow into their positions today. This was just too cool because you are always worried about where the employment ceiling is in your position. To know that it doesn't stop and goes straight to the top is just awesome.
Anyways, I'm just getting ready to go to church so I thought I might talk to everyone and let them know how I am doing. I hope you all have a great Sunday and don't hesitate to give me a call if you want to say hello in person. Adios for now.

Hey there, Jenn from UCSB again.
Glad to hear you're doing so excellently there! Predictably, I probably won't make it up this summer. I wish I could, but somehow things always manage to go awry.
Keep it up!
