Overdue Job News

Today's blog is going to simply be a congratulations to Chrissi on finally getting the job she wants in counselling. She attended an interview last week for this position, and heard back today that she had been offered the position.

It is on a contract basis, but with potential for many other opportunities to move to internally as they are expanding and recruiting - in fact, Chrissi attended an interview this week with the same company for a different position (which she is still yet to heard back from and is hopeful for). If we're lucky they come along like the proverbial red buses and after waiting, struggling and striving for eighteen months, two come along at once! The job itself would involve working at a prison counselling the inmates - I don't know much more about it than that as it's not really my area of expertise.

Overall, I think it's only appropriate reward for all the effort that Chrissi's put into this over the past year and a half - it would have been easy to settle down and think that she wasn't going to get the job she wanted and stick with what she had (and I wouldn't be surprised if it hadn't crossed her mind a few times too). But she kept persevering, kept applying, and eventually that reaped its thoroughly justified reward.

A hearty well done from myself - if only because it means we had celebratory Chinese takeaway tonight!
