So as many of you know now, i was very very VERRRYYY FORTUNATE to have been offered a job. It is somewhat related to my field and i was very happy to have been given this offer. To be honest, i have little to no experience and as my mum said...your experience is a blank piece of paper compared to your sister who has a fair bit. She did not say it in a condescending way or in a way which made me seem useless. Because that is true, since ive only had experience in retail, its not specifically related to what i studied unlike my sis and her endless pharmacy experience.
To be given this chance i feel so damn lucky because my results are horrible and the location of this place is also amazing! superb! Most importantly, my parents, grandparents and sister and brother are all super happy for me! When theyre happy im happy! Oh of course all my friends too!
For the past couple of days ive been thinking a lot about it...things that came across my mind which id like to let out...
- is this too good to be true?
- will i manage?
- will i regret this? I have booked 2 holidays to which i need to cancel and im leaving behind my sis who i reallly want to spend time with
- am i ready for this?
- i am really lucky to be offered this position, although it isnt high earning like most of my friends, i am gaining that valuable experience
- its not like uniqlo where i had temp contracts, this is permanent
- location is superb and it was my goal to work in the city at one stage
- this office is located near flinders so ill always get a seat when i leave work
- will i still get a chance to travel? Freely?
- i feel like i know nothing, will i cope? i dont want to be a burden
- as i told myself, you need to be challenged in life...if not...how are you living your life?
- Through this, i can see how supportive my family is
- This may be the only chance i have at this stage so i should really hold on to it.
- its not everyday that you get offered a job when you have little experience and they seem to be willing to train me up from the bottom
- as my friend said...this might be a chance i won't be getting any time soon...
Just having all these thoughts going through my head is sometimes unnecessary but i can't help but to think about it...i don't think im ready at all, but at the same time i NEED THIS EXPERIENCE
people in australia are mainly hired based on their experience and higher qualified people might not get a job because they lack experience. I think this is the great opportunity to gain that experience whatever it may be just so i can get started. What i have to give up is my holiday...HOLIDAYS*!!!
However my sis told me...you'll still have many opportunities to travel, and also the fact that if i miss this chance and decide to go on my end of year holidays, ill come back and enter a competition with not only graduates from my semester, but also the fresh graduates from sem 2. I hope everything goes well on monday and that i will stay focused and look forward to my holiday next year. (fingerscrossed)
But even if things dont go to plan, the fact of hearing about my grandparents being so happy for me and how my parents feel that they have one less person to worry about makes me so happy! THey have loved me my entire life and there are so many things i want to give back to them, love, support and care which they all deserve. I will take little steps at a time and letting them know that i am trying. They probably won't stop thinking of us until we get married and get children hehehe but id love to make my parents proud of me, and the fact that i got this offer meant a lot. I would like to cherish this moment and hopefully continue to progress with this!
I honestly don't know what to expect but thats life...you'll never see what is coming, just take it in and learn from it. Life will be tough and easy. (not like my life is really tough at the moment) but you know what i mean, things do not always go to plan and this is when you reflect on it and talk to people about it.
Everyone is entering a new chapter of their lives and it is just so exciting! I hope everyone is going well and i can't wait to enter another chapter in life!
