Life has this crazy way of throwing curve balls and every so often you look back a year or two from where you are currently and wonder how things changed so quickly. Life changes for both the good and the bad and the past year has brought some of the toughest decisions and the best decisions at the same time.
As I mentioned in my last post, I have handed in my resignation at work and now have less than a month until I move to Auckland. The only things I have struggled with in this decision are;
- It can’t come soon enough!
- Handing in my resignation was pretty tough as I have worked there for over 8 years and it was my first real full time job.
- The job search.
The last one is the point of this post, I have had quiet a few average nights sleep over the job search and for no real reason in particular as I don’t NEED to have a job before I get up there. Financially I could manage for a number of months without a job, but I think I would go stir crazy, the first few weeks would be awesome though 😉
I have had a few interviews now and a couple of rejections, the reason for the rejections perfectly understandable (experience in a certain area of audit) although a little disheartening even though you know the decision is logical and that I would’ve never been happy in those jobs regardless.
I have a second interview on Monday at a place I interviewed at a few weeks ago and got the best vibe from so far, and I have experience in most of the areas they work in, although only a little experience in some areas. But they liked me enough for a second interview so we will see what happens. Definitely not counting chickens at this stage.
This second interview includes an aptitude test (good times), not entirely sure what this will involve but I am terrible at tests and exams so hopefully it’s pretty basic!
Wish me Luck 😉
Good luck for the interview and good luck for your move north 🙂
Eep thanks!
Aww good luck! I hope lots of big, new adventures are coming your way both personally and professionally 🙂
Thanks, is both scary and exciting 🙂
