So, I am proud to announce that after some time-spatial negotiations, Mr. Williamson and I have finally agreed to meet on Dec 18th for my day of passage into the world of mortgage lending. In the past couple months I’ve had to exercise extreme persistence in contacting schools for SIFE projects, dishing out thank-you notes and queries to my interviewers, and guilt tripping tennis players to scheduled matches. So, I have to say it is a bit of a mind-bender when James Williamson, VP of Fairfield Production, somehow finds the time to respond in a timely, polite, organized manner to a lowly, slovenly freshman still trying to make his way in the world.
(For more college freshman fun)
When Primary school teachers, in the throes of selfless devotion to their astute beloved angels, pass you from administrator to administrator like a cheap bong, you sometimes lose your grip on what it meant to coordinate without absolute cynicism. An email every two weeks and I'm pretty much dancing through the hills. So, shout out to James for renewing my hope in the modern communication system. He was even kind enough to accept my request for book recommendations by noting Fred Factor, Eat the Frog, E-Myth, and The Million Dollar Real Estate Agent.
Apparently these books can teach you how to be a successful salesman, but from what I've perceived of James so far, they might even make you a better person... or even taller, more astute, maybe even lend some tid-bits on his impeccable hair gelling technique. Perhaps I'm getting a little carried away, but hey, it's nice to be liberated from long silence, redirects, and general cold calling awkwardness..
