Knock, knock, are you still there?
The cursor was blinking in the space above and I don’t know what the title of the post will be. I’ll type and maybe it will come to me.
It’s been one year to the day since the interview for my current job. I only realised that when I had a meeting with my boss yesterday and she asked me how I was getting on in my role. I didn’t start the job until April 2022, three month notice period from my previous role, so it’s been around nine months. I hope I’m doing well. She confirmed I was.
I’d been in my previous department for 17 years, working my way up in roles and responsibilities. It was comfortable, I knew the people, and I knew the job like the back of my hand, but it was time to move on. I wasn’t even looking for a new job. In fact, my current job was advertised and I let the closing date pass. It wasn’t until I received an email asking if I’d like to apply that I really did consider it. I uhmed and ahhed for a week, agonising over whether or not to stay comfortable or put a bet on myself that I could do it. I took inspiration from the previous few months when someone I knew had taken a chance too.
I took the bet. I won the bet. If it had all gone wrong I think I would have been ok.
I need to bet more on myself.
You should too.
Besides, the view from my new office isn’t bad.
Don’t know how I overlooked this post Angela. Hope you are still happy with your new job! 🙌🙌👏👏👍🏽😊🙏🫶The view is beautiful. 💕👍🏽🙌😊🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌😊Hope life is treating you kindly. 💕💕🙏🙏
