What a crazy month! March I was told I was to be made redundant, the business was closing and everyone was getting made redundant, a sad time but equally a great opportunity to find a job I enjoy doing.
So I immediately start looking for another job. The usual Admin jobs there are plenty of them, but boring! An interesting role with the local police force as an intelligence administrator, now that’s not boring! Logistics management job, marketing, business development -Via the local paper and agencies I am going mad applying for everything I know I can do (and that has a half decent wage). I also write to the recruitment department at the police to see if they have any space for me as I am not sure if I want a permanent job or a temporary one. They obviously say they cannot fast track me and I should keep waiting to hear from them around August time!
So I go off to a few interviews for permanent jobs (temporary ones are so insecure). I even apply again for a job as an immigration officer at Stansted Airport.
After a few weeks I am finally offered what could possibly be my dream job. It is business development for a new brand of sports clothing. Perfect with my sales skills and Sport Science degree, rugby experience and general love for sport. So I am all excited and happy I have a start date for the end of April, which gives me time between the old job and the new one. I have also been offered an interview for the immigration job and as a just in case I am going to go to the interview as I know it could take a few months to come through, which will give me chance to suss out the new business development role.
