Hi all,
Today I was successful in landing myself another job.
I've been looking for a while and I missed out on another one a few weeks ago but this time around I was successful. In about 3 weeks time I will be leaving the government department where I've worked since 1983 (with 2 years break while we lived in Brisbane) in a job I've been in since 2000. I'll be moving over to another government department (much smaller than where I am now) and filling somebody's (a previous friend actually) position while they take maternity leave. The position is a promotion for me as it is a Manager's role.
OMG I beat 15 other applicants and I'm excited but (quietly) terrified. As I spoke to Miss R today (who's job I'm taking over) she mentioned a few times how challenging the role will be. I guess this is my test of how good I am at applying all my previous experience, knowledge and skills, how confident I am in my abilities (or can pretend to be), how tough I am and whether I've got what it takes to succeed.
I guess I could ask myself all these questions in the context of my life in general:
Can I apply all the things I've learnt, the skills and attitudes I've developed from the experiences I've had to have the life I want?
How confident am I that I have what it takes to achieve my goals?
How tough am I to weather the storms, the hard times, the fluctuations in motivation and still keep pushing on?
Do I have what it takes to succeed?
Cheers all
Magda
