Well, it has been a loong two months, but I am happy to announce that I am no longer unemployed... I have offically been offered and accepted a position with an organization in Calgary... I am very excited to start the new chapter in life, but also feel a little bit of guilt... layoffs have been slow to begin in Calgary but they are definitely making their presence felt. This time last year, jobs were applenty and now HUNDREDS of people are applying for the same jobs...
I ran into an aquaintance today who works at a clothing store... She quit her job in November and took the part time retail job in anticipation of finding a career job within weeks... Five and a half months later she is still looking for a job, and as we are sort of in the same field, have applied for the same jobs. Long story short, I have the job, she doesn't and we both applied for the same one... a little too close to home. I expect that I won the job over other applicants, but I certainly don't expect to run into them while updating my work attire for said new job... and my guilty feelings were amplified after the guilt trip she laid on me... note to self, go to a different mall in I want to shop in that store from here on in....
Wednesday is the big start day, so I am running errands and trying to get all ready to go for the new job... wish me luck, after two months I am a bit nervous about this whole job thing! I just keep telling myself, it's just like riding a bike!
Till next time,
L
