College Grad Gets a Job Offer…During Her Commencement Ceremony!

One college grad is on top of the world right now after she snagged a job offer…right in the middle of her commencement ceremony!

Melanie Sanchez, who graduated from the University of Central Florida this Friday, was waiting to cross the stage when she got a call. She immediately recognized the number, which belonged to a health care company that she interviewed with earlier that same week! After a little hesitation since she was in the middle of graduating, Melanie decided to pick up the phone anyway. “I either don’t answer it and I don’t know what could happen, like what if they give the job to someone else,” she told Inside Edition. “I don’t know. I was just kinda like freaking out. So I was like, ‘You know what? This is a once in a lifetime chance, so I’m just gonna answer it real quickly.’ At first she asks me, is this a good time to speak? And I said, yeah, of course. Meanwhile, you hear people clapping and screaming in the background.”

Melanie was offered a position as a marketing specialist at the company right then and there! And a friend was able to capture the incredible moment, which has now gone viral! Watch her excited reaction and short interview with Inside Edition below!
