I can’t believe it.

After attending a number of job interviews and getting very polite rejections, I actually managed to get an offer! It’s for a senior position in an organisation and from speaking to the owner he’s looking to build-up again.

Apparently, he can see something in me that would be of value to his firm that I can’t. 😄

(In all seriousness, I sense he’s dealt with some shit in the past and still carries the scars, so perhaps he subconsciously resonates with me)

So I’ve signed the employment contract and locked things in and start in the next month.

In looking at a job role, I want to satisfy two out of three parameters:

🔑 Right location

🔑 Right remuneration

🔑 Right type of work

✅ The remuneration is fair for the role (maybe a little too fair given I’ve been out of things for a while).

✅ The type of work I suspect will be ok and I hope to form some good relationships with the right type of customers (never know where that could lead).

❌ The location isn’t ideal as it’s CBD-based and I would have preferred a suburban business.

But beggars can’t be choosers and at least this is a step in the right direction to getting me back on track.

But I’m also worried. 😟

Am I up to it?

I mean, anyone can dress-up in a suit and pretend they’re the greatest thing since Steve Jobs.

But you have to perform! … and I know I’ll be watched closely for the first 6 months to see how I go.

Oh well … no point in worrying about what may or may not happen. I’ll just deal with things as and when they arise.

But for now … I got a job! 😬
