Does anyone else find it difficult to explain how they got
to where they are today?  Whether it’s pertained
to life in general, this blog, or my career, I often struggle to find the words
to describe my journey.  It was just
recently, however, that I was explaining my career path to a new acquaintance,
and she summed it all up for me.  I’m an opportunist.  Yes, I’ve worked very (very) hard to get
here, but the reason I am fortunate enough to be in such a great spot in my
life, my blog, and my career is that I’ve jumped at the right opportunities.

That is why I’m especially excited to have the chance to tell
YOU about a great opportunity.  Aritzia
has personally extended an invite to all you wonderful aliciafashionista.com
fans to join their team.  They are currently
looking for some awesome individuals (like you) to fill some part time and full
time positions for all of their locations, just in time for the holidays!
Holiday hiring_staff and bloggers

My personal experience in the fashion industry began as a
part time sales associate for a local clothing company.  I gained the knowledge I needed at store
level and worked my way up within the company until I landed a sweet gig in
their head office.  If I hadn’t put the
time in and learned the operational side of things, it’s doubtful that I would
have been as successful landing a role in their head office.  That’s why I want to make sure you don’t
brush off this kind of opportunity.  If
you’ve been wanting a change, then consider this your sign.
The time has come to dig up that resume and send it in to erin@aritzia.com.  You’ll be contacted soon after and invited
for an interview at Aritzia’s Vancouver
office.  This is your chance to charm
them and get yourself an awesome new job.  Tell them that Alicia Fashionista sent ya, and let me know how it goes!

    Fun Fact: Numerous studies have been done to demonstrate the connection between optimism and opportunity. People with a positive outlook are far more likely to see and connect with opportunities than their Debbie Downer counterparts. You created your super rad reality. You also created that super rad outfit. Coincidence? I think not.

    How gorgeous do you look in this outfit?! I LOVE the styling you did with the items you chose. So fall appropriate and chic, in a very unique way. I can't wait to see how you'll wear these items separately too!

    It was good to see you quickly yesterday and I'm glad we were able to avoid the rain! I'll dropbox the photos over to you ASAP!
