Ham's Gets A New Job

Ham's Gets A New Job

I have been saying on these forums for some time that I needed a new job because of all sorts of problems.

Well today I was offered a new one!

It all happened in the space of about 30mins. The person rang me up and told me about it, they were able to make some accomodations for part time and they also told me I will start in about 3 weeks from now - giving me time to prepare and leave my current role.

I guess once it is confirmed for sure I can speak specifically about my old job - was always worried about being identified.

I was working the courts department. It was a government role. I saw some interesting things, and it actually made me think of law as a career which I still haven't struck out as a potential career opportunity.

I guess I am now at a stage where I can look back at where I've come with my job experience. I am onto something different now. It fits with my schedule. It's higher pay. I am also aware of the fact that it will end in Ocotber - so its a temp role I am moving to but it's worth it for the skills, experience and abilities I can work on. By October I will be keen for something else.

Onwards and upwards I guess

But also, thanks for your support so far in my journey forumites. I really appreciate. I may throw a forum party thread lol

Irony

I sent an email to one of my managers and she was shocked. She thought I was getting a pay rise with the upcoming change. I hope she was wrong. I reckon she is.

But she said very nice things about me and that I was liked on level 3.

It is good to hear it.

Well onwards and upwards.

There is a risk in taking onboard a job that has a deadline with no extension. But in my estimate its worth it because it means I will get better experience.

I just need to be wise during this time. Make good impressions. Be smart.

IS that the work and study themed one?
If so I submitted a question earlier today - but yes it would be a good thing to watch along with and put something forward.
