Sarah Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I recently hit my 10 year milestone at work and started thinking about my role, progression, what i will be doing in the next 5 / 10 years etc and after a lot of thought i decided to move on. I submitted my CV 2 weeks ago and had an interview straight away on the phone. Following that I had a face to face interview last week whereby i had to demonstrate team skills eg i had to build a tent - you have never seen anything so funny in your life So after the tent, we had a role play session, and a formal interview, then finally we had to design a collage of what the company stood for and present it to the group. All done and was told will hear back in 5 days. The day after i got a call offering me the job i said yes I handed my notice in this week at work to management and yesterday had to tell the team i manage, that was hard, like me they have also been there a number of years and we all get a long great. They were so shocked but wished me well. So - deep breath.....time to make a HUGE change in my life!!! I will no longer be working a quick 10 min drive away, instead I will be working in the centre on Manchester in a very upmarket area as well - best behaviour for me then! lol So in short - i've been really upset about leaving where I am and taking that step, but i'm also so excited for this new challenge!

stormchaser09 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 well done on the new job and also for having the courage to move on. Too often people get stuck in jobs because they don't have the courage to try something new. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Change is always scary.:eek: But within a couple of weeks you'll have settled in. Made new friends, and you'll wonder what the worry and stress was for. You're a big girl now. . . suck it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 It is a big step to take, making that decision; it's hard enough when you're forced into it e.g. when a business closes, but to have the drive to do it on your own is great. Good luck in your new role, I've had a word with Kleenex about delivering a few thousand boxes of tissues on your last day! xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
