Recent University of Central Florida grad Melanie Sanchez got a call during the middle of her ceremony Friday and as the marketing major was waiting to collect her diploma, she got a job offer.

When her cell phone rang, the 23-year-old recognized the number and picked up. The number belonged to a company she interviewed with earlier in the week. 

“I either don't answer it and I don't know what could happen, like what if they give the job to someone else," Sanchez 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."

Sanchez added that she was offered the position and her reaction was caught on video thanks to a friend who was recording the situation.

“She just says, ‘So, we're calling because I want to let you know that we want to offer you the position.’ So, that was when I was reacting. My friend got it all on tape,” Sanchez recalled.
