Hey gang!
Life post-sleeve has been beyond amazing! I have lost track of all of my NSVs along the way. However, I can say I picked up one more...a new job!
Prior to being sleeved, I seldom got second interviews for internal job postings and I often be asked if I could fly. Now, I am 200 lbs lighter , I have been focusing on my brand.
On Wednesday, I landed my dream job! I start the new position within the company as a program manager/instructional designer on 8/3 and will be flying to Denver for a week shortly afterwards. Sure there is something to dressing for the job you want and not the one you have, however being sleeved helped me also change my own attitude that I presented to others. My new brand is seen as energetic, a confident can do attitude, and a pleasant demeanor.
Being able to wear clothes off the rack have truly helped my self-esteem. I am more confident and that exudes far more than the French cuff dress shirts and ties I wear now.
